Donya Jessup, the first woman mayor of Hildell, Utah, has led a significant transformation in her community over her seven years in office. Known previously for being under the control of the polygamous prophet Warren Jeffs and his FLDS church, the community has shifted away from its dark past. Mayor Jessup has overseen developments including new businesses, office complexes, public schools, and a shopping center. Despite some FLDS members still residing in the area, many have left or were evicted for tax reasons. Samuel Bateman, an FLDS follower claiming to be a new prophet, was recently imprisoned, reminding the community of its troubled history. The town now embraces a future welcoming all, including those returning after being exiled.
