Firm in our Principles,
Dignified in our Approach
We need leaders who foster cooperation.
We need leaders who are persuasive not contentious.
We need leaders who remember to put citizens first.
Utah’s Economy
Inflation
We need to shelter our state from INFLATION and promote ECONOMIC GROWTH.
The more SELF RELIANT we are as a state, the less impacted we will be by bad federal policy and national economic swings.
When we produce our own electricity, refine our own fuel, grow our own produce and graze our own livestock, our economy is stronger, our job outlook is better and our living expenses are lower.
Economic Opportunity
The Utah tech sector is booming. We need to create opportunities for our other business sectors and industries too boom. Utah has an opportunity to be a national leader in manufacturing, professional services, agriculture and mining.
Less government regulation means more opportunities to compete and build a business you can be proud of.
Growth and Development
Housing Affordability
High density housing cannot be our only response housing affordability. There are better solutions for resolving our housing crisis.
Our citizens, especially first time home buyers, should not have to compete against massive foreign investment firms for affordable houses. We need to make sure our housing market benefits families and individuals not foreign capital.
Increasing “Owner Occupied” requirements for new construction is a great way of protecting the opportunity of home ownership for the rising generation.
New Development
Growth is seemingly out of control in our district. City planners seem to be caving to the pressure of big developers.
We need affordable housing, but we can’t build more high-density housing than our infrastructure can support.
We need to slow the growth to a manageable rate.
Roads
Our roads need to scale with growth, not trail behind it. Major arteries need to be improved as a condition of future growth, not as an afterthought.
We need safe, reliable and shortened commutes in and out of our communities.
Immigration
We are in need of a drastic change to our federal immigration policy and open borders.
We need to reduce the tax burden of illegal immigration on Utah residents.
We need to relentlessly pressure the federal government for comprehensive reform.
We need to work with neighboring states to demand change.
We cannot permit Utah to become a sanctuary state.
Education
Our public education system needs to prepare our children for meaningful careers. Education needs to be a path to success not a box to check.
Good, hardworking and engaged teachers should be supported and receive the recognition and compensation they deserved.
School districts need to be more accountable for how tax dollars are used. Our tax dollars should be supporting smaller classroom sizes and better student programs. We need to trim administrative and bureaucratic waste.
Women need to be protected on the field and in the locker room. This great social experiment of intermingling sexes in locker rooms and on the field, is dangerous, ethically ungrounded and unsustainable. Our daughters deserve our protection.
Schools should not be used to push political and social agendas. Education should remain focussed on critical learning outcomes; math, writing and arithmetic. Divisive, polarizing and explicit content, have no place in our classrooms. The values a parent teaches at home should not be challenged in the classroom.
Family and Community
Families serve as the bedrock of our society. As a dedicated advocate for our community, I am committed to:
Policies that nurture family values and keep our neighborhoods safe.
Protecting our children by increasing penalties for crimes that victimize minors.
Personal Liberty
Our freedoms were not easily won. We cannot let them be reduced or erased. I will stand to preserve speech, free of censorship, and thought, free of a DC agenda.
I will ensure that Utah remains a beacon of liberty and opportunity!
