A New Voice for Davis

Born and raised in South Davis, I’m stepping forward to represent the community that shaped me

About Nathan

I’m Nathan James Harper, a young, driven lifelong learner, mental-health professional, writer, and community-driven thinker who believes deeply in people and their potential. My path has woven together psychology, athletics, creative expression, and public service, giving me a unique lens on human nature, resilience, and what it means to build a healthy society. I’ve spent years supporting individuals facing immense challenges, and that work fuels my commitment to compassion, clarity, and practical problem-solving. I’m future-oriented, driven, grounded, and unafraid to speak honestly about what our communities need. Whether through my writing, my work in mental health, or my long-term dedication to public leadership, my goal is always the same: to help people find stability, dignity, and a sense of belonging — and to contribute to a world where we lift one another up instead of leaving people behind.

In order to achieve the goals of our community, Davis needs to evolve in sustainable, common sense ways. If I am to help lead this city, I need to hear from the community itself. While I spend a great deal of time connecting with community members… I would love to hear from those I do not run into downtown or in the community. Whether you feel unheard, unrepresented, or inspired for change, let me know where you are at, what you need from me, and what you expect Davis to look like. What do YOU want from your community? I will do everything in my power to let your voice be heard and imbue the change we wish to see for our future.
