“I believe that a record of integrity and service to one's community is a prerequisite for elected office; experience in government or politics can certainly be beneficial, but shouldn't be the only criteria. The legislature enacts policies that impact local governments and needs to take municipal dynamics into consideration; there is no substitute for the experience I have as a city councilmember in supporting and understanding this relationship between state policy and local politics.” (Ballotpedia)

“West Valley City is the second-largest city in Utah, but too often, it feels like we're treated as an afterthought. I don't think that's right. Representation here matters.

“Education Reform and Access: I believe in providing quality education for all children, regardless of their background or zip code. I will advocate for policies that support our schools, empower teachers, and expand access to educational resources, giving every child the chance to succeed.” (Ballotpedia)

“My father. He worked and worked and worked. I've never known someone who worked harder than he did. Not only at his business, but he was a dignified church leader and for 12 years he was an elected member of the local school board. He was board president for several years.” (Ballotpedia)
