“Firstly, healthcare access. I've spent years in patient care and health insurance, and I've seen one diagnosis or one denied claim wreck a family's finances. Mental health care should be something people can actually access and afford. Disability rights matter deeply to me. People with disabilities and their families shouldn't have to fight the system for the housing, benefits, and services they're owed.”
(Ballotpedia) “Listening comes first. An elected official works for the people in their district. That means showing up in neighborhoods, answering the phone, and meeting with folks across the district. That's why I've knocked doors across our district to hear directly from you. Honesty matters just as much. Voters deserve to know where their representative stands and why, even when the answer isn't popular.”
(Ballotpedia) “Born and raised in Magna, Liz Oates understands firsthand the issues that our community is facing, and she's running for House District 27 because she's tired of watching the west side be ignored at the Capitol.”

“I am particularly invested in improving the quality of life for every West Side resident by working to lower property taxes, improve access to health care options, and ensure that our communities receive the resources and investment they deserve. I believe every resident deserves strong representation and a voice in government, regardless of party affiliation, background, or zip code.”
(Ballotpedia) “I am particularly invested in improving the quality of life for every west side resident, ensuring that we receive the resources of our east side counterparts, and promoting good representation for every resident - regardless of party affiliation, background, or zip code.”
(Ballotpedia) “The most important principle that has guided my service is actively listening to community members. Our district is one of the most closely divided in the entire state. I won my last election by fewer than 100 votes. As a representative, I have recognized that my primary goal is to ensure that every community member feels they have a voice - whether or not they voted for me. In doing so, I have created connections with constituents from all walks of life and all perspectives.”
