Lead with Love: How Rachelle Price Built Bridges and Found Her Calling in Public Service

In this heartfelt episode of the Project Elected podcast, host Audrey Perry Martin sits down with school board president and Project Elect board member Rachelle Price—the woman who helped inspire the founding of Project Elect. Rachelle shares her remarkable journey from a concerned mom to an elected school board member in Rocklin, California, all while balancing family life and staying grounded in her faith. Rachelle opens up about how small acts of service in her children’s schools led to bigger opportunities, what it’s really like to serve during politically divisive times, and how she relies on prayer and compassion to lead with courage and kindness—even toward those who disagree with her. You’ll hear powerful stories of bridge-building, faith-led leadership, and practical advice for any Latter-day Saint woman wondering if public service might be her path. Whether you're just thinking about getting involved or are already serving in your community, this episode will inspire you to move forward with faith, empathy, and confidence.

Patty Kubeja: Kane County Commission

This week, Audrey interviews Patty Kubeja, a member of the Kane County Commission. Recently, the county made history by becoming first all-women county commission in Utah. This isn't the first time Kane County has made history for an all-women governing body- in 1911 five women were elected to serve on the Kanab County Council.  In this interview, the two talk about this legacy, Patty's military service, and what led her to run for county commission.  Salt Lake Tribune: Utah’s first all-female government started as a joke. A century later, this county is making history again. [https://www.sltrib.com/news/2025/01/30/kane-countys-all-female-commission/] Learn more about Project Elect: projectelectwomen.org.
