Lewis Roseberry

After an honorable discharge from the military, I pursued computer science, becoming a skilled programmer and repair technician. I worked as a security officer on the Las Vegas strip, becoming an Emergency Medical Technician with a volunteer ambulance service specializing in water rescue on Lake Mead. While in Vegas, I served as chairman of the Libertarian Party of Clark County and vice-chairman of the Nevada state party. In 2004, I moved to Logan, with my wife and son. I founded Logan Computers, providing tech services across northern Utah and surrounding states. By 2018, I had become a Mensa member and a federally certified miner, upgrading computers for a Trona mine in Wyoming. I also became a network/fiber tech for eBay and Google. I maintain my ham radio license, and at times can be found volunteering for bike and foot races around the valley. I am registered with the Utah Highway Patrol as an emergency communications resource. I am now retired and ready for a new chapter. When asked why I am running for Mayor, I simply said, “it is a difficult job, but I’m qualified and willing to serve if the community chooses me. I have a history of standing up for the little guy. However, I will pay attention to the people with the best ideas, not the loudest voices. Lewis@LoganMayor.com.

Matthew Fatuesi

The name is Matthew Paul Fatuesi, but you'll see me online as Ramza Pachi on the social spheres, occasionally as polished carpet, thevern alone, and in one place, the purple streaming website, I go by opseczero. Oh, and I have an Only Fans creator account, but I forgot the username as I decided which fetish to appeal to.

Until I remember, I guess I'll focus on something actually depraved these days. Running for public office. And so I'm on the casting couch.

I was born here in the valley, had a short stint up in another valley, Fairbanks, Alaska, after my parents got remarried. Returning to Logan after graduating, I went to USU, first for statistics focusing on actuarial science, but changed course to computer science with a focus in software development. Without picking up a degree in either, I was expelled and slowly all my credits expired.

Working entry level jobs during and afterwards, I moved from retail, customer service, cart pushing, grocery pickup {during covid -_-}, HR assistant, janitor, and then ultimately, unemployed.

Nested in that timeline, I went down to American Samoa to attend the community college there. No degree was obtained then either, but the education, all the classes I passed, were for a business management degree.

All this to say I've lived life as complacent cog in the machine, helping to advance my coworkers to higher positions. That position is no longer tenable when the machine is trying to vibrate itself to some selfish climax.
