Don was born and raised in Southern Utah. After marrying his high school sweetheart, JoAnn, they moved to Salt Lake City. He graduated from LDS Business College in accounting and business administration, and spent several years in banking, eventually transferring to St. George with Zions Bank. Don has always loved big rigs so when the opportunity came in 1988, he helped co-found DATS Trucking. He attributes DATS' success to an amazing, nearly 40-year business partnership with Stan Snow, strong family support, mixed with tremendous employees and loyal customers.
In addition to his business success, Ipson has served in Utah's House of Representatives and Senate for 16 years. He was a major advocate for Dixie State College's elevation to University status and earning honors like the Dixie State College Distinguished Service and Excellence in Education awards. Ipson is a champion for both Washington County and the State of Utah. He serves as the Vice Chair of the Executive Appropriations Committee, helping oversee Utah's budget.
Committed to community welfare, Ipson and his family have made substantial donations to Dixie State University and local community charities. He and JoAnn have four sons, all Dixie State alumni, ten grandchildren, and (almost) nine great-grandchildren.

"Ranked as the 9th most effective Republican in Congress, John has delivered for Utah. Focusing on energy independence, fighting reckless spending in both parties, standing up to communist China’s aggression, protecting farmers and ranchers from over-regulation, and defending Utah’s land from federal overreach—he’s been busy. Before Congress, John led a company that designed and built shooting ranges. This real world experience taught him what it’s like to successfully build something from the ground up. As Provo mayor, he cut the city’s budget by over 8% and earned a 94% approval rating from residents. He understands that running a leaner government is important, and he uses that as an example of how the federal budget should also operate. John’s 6 years of seniority in the U.S. House will follow him to the Senate where seniority really matters. Utah won’t have to start over. John now wants to take his unique experience and proven track record of getting things done for Utahns to the U.S. Senate. He believes that Utah families deserve to be heard and will continue to work hard every day to make Utah an even better place. As our Senator, he’ll keep getting things done for Utah."
