Politician/Carlene Moreno

Moreno was born in Tooele, Utah to Henry and Joanne Moreno, a Mormon minister and a teacher respectively. Moreno followed in her mother’s footsteps, graduating from the University of Utah in 2009, and becoming a middle school teacher. Her anger with a school board decision not to enforce abstinence-only sex education led to Moreno running for and winning a seat on the Tooele School Board in 2015. She was known for being one of the strongest conservative voices on the board, achieving high popularity in her heavily Republican district.

After winning a second term on the school board, Moreno announced her candidacy for an open seat in the Utah State Senate.

She defeated Sacramento mayor Tyler Price in the 2044 presidential election. Prior to becoming President, she served as majority leader of the Utah Senate from 2025 to 2041, and as a United States Senator from Utah from 2041 to 2045.
