“I'm passionate about public policies that improve everyday life for Utah families. My priorities include economic affordability and fair wages, public education, healthcare and reproductive rights, workers' rights, responsible growth, clean air and water, Great Salt Lake restoration, public lands, clean energy, and government transparency. I also believe democracy works best when government respects individual rights, listens to constituents, and makes decisions openly and responsibly.”

“Voting laws need to be fair and executed flawlessly. We cannot have cheating in any degree. The Founding Fathers established our constitution via a representative government. We are a Republic. The fathers determined that the best and only way to transfer that power back to the people is via elections. They were very careful in how often we should hold elections, age requirements, citizenship requirements, etc. If we lose the integrity of our election process, we will head into civil war.”
(Ballotpedia) “I'm really only had a handful of legislatures, mayors and citizens endorse my campaign. I do not cater to any special interests. I will not be bought with any amount of money. I only wish to do was is right is the eyes of our God. I will make decisions with integrity and with my best judgement. I will not pretend to have all the answers and will rely heavily of the feedback of the people. If I am to represent them, I must hear their concerns and learn from them.”
(Ballotpedia) “I'm grateful that my children and I have had the opportunity to serve for our faith, for our community, and for our country. We swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and to bear true faith and allegiance to it. If asked by the voice of the people, I will take this oath again and commit to fulfilling this responsibility with diligence, transparency, and respect.”
