“Educating children is perhaps our most important public responsibility. We invest over $9B a year in Utah K-12 education from federal, state, and local sources, but money doesn't always make it to the classroom to impact individual children. I will work closely with parents, teachers, and local school boards to minimize bureaucracy and burdensome legislation, balance testing and learning, and focus resources in critical areas like literacy.” (Ballotpedia)
“Rather than political endorsements, my website focuses on in-depth testimonials from colleagues and neighbors who have worked with me for decades and are personally vouching for my integrity, work ethic, and problem-solving. Public figures who have endorsed me include: Amber Shill, President, Canyons School Board; Kelvyn Cullimore, Cottonwood Heights Mayor, 2005-2017; Mike Shelton, Cottonwood Heights City Council, 2012-2019.” (Ballotpedia)
“My wife and I love this community and want to do more to give back. I can now dedicate my full time, energy, and experience to serving as your representative.” (Campaign website)
