Dustin Gettel was first elected to the Midvale City Council in 2017 and began serving as Mayor in December 2024. Originally from Pennsylvania, Dustin’s background spans both rural and suburban communities before he made Midvale his home in 2015. Dustin earned his law degree from Delaware Law School in 2009 and has been a dedicated public health analyst with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services since 2016. As an elected official, Dustin has focused on issues surrounding homelessness, fostering safer and more walkable neighborhoods, and creating more deeply affordable housing units throughout the city.

When he’s not working in his various public capacities, Mayor Gettel can often be found on the Jordan River Trail walking Link, his spirited Miniature Schnauzer, and Nova, his lovable yet mischievous Shih Tzu rescue pup.
