“I believe in limited government and local control-and will ask two questions before considering any legislation: First, is this the role of government? AND second, is this something that can be solved by more local government? If a bill cannot pass these two hurdles, it will not receive my support.”
(Ballotpedia) “I think most important is to elect someone who understands the needs of the district they support and who will unabashingly advocate for their area with integrity and honesty.”
(Ballotpedia) “My first job was when I was 14 years as a soccer referee. I took my initially refereeing classes at the West Jordan City Hall. At a young age, I learned how to make tough calls and deal with difficult people while keeping a cool head. I continued to referee soccer on-and-off until I entered law school.”
