After interviewing 18 candidates for the position in a public meeting, the Salt Lake City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to appoint Analia Valdemoros — a self-described “30-something Hispanic” with experience in the public and private sector — to serve District 4.
Valdemoros, an Argentinian native, moved to the United States 10 years ago as an international student and gained her United States citizenship last August. She is the co-owner of Square Kitchen and the owner of Argentina’s Best Empanadas, which she said both received support from the public sector, and she served previously as a city planner with Salt Lake City.
