“Access to healthcare, housing and education give access to opportunity and hope. Where I grew up many people are stuck in the cycle of intergenerational poverty. I've seen the toll that takes on the quality of life in the community- safety, crime, health, and other resources. Utah is a place of opportunity. Hard working families should not have to choose between rent and food. Retirees should not have to choose between groceries and medication.”
(Ballotpedia) “I love the biography of Helen Keller. For someone who did not have access to language until the age of 7, she is remarkably one of the most brilliant people I have read. She had passion and gratitude for language, learning, and life that inspired leaders around the world to reconsider human rights and the individual worth and value of people with disabilities. She spent her life expanding accessibility to education and other rights for blind and deaf people around the world.”
(Ballotpedia) “A representative should represent the people. That means listening to them and being available. When there is a question of priorities or a tough legislative decision, instead of listening to lobbyists or party leaders I will reach out to my neighbors and members of my community and make sure I understand what they value, what they need, and how the decision will impact them.”

(Campaign website) “Starting something here should not take a lawyer and a licensing board. I have spent years cutting the rules that raise your prices and keep people from building something of their own.”

“Mortgage Loan Interest - Mortgage loan payments plague our state at a rate that many may find difficult to keep up with. Understanding that the economy affects the cost of living and services; the law will require financial institutions within our state to provide mortgage loans, and that monthly mortgage payment remains the same throughout the lifetime of the loan.”
(Ballotpedia) “Religiously While claims can be made that deity frowns upon the scriptural referred "un-natural" behavior; God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And while He passed judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, He has not passed His judgment on those in this community, and neither should we.”
(Ballotpedia) “What I would do differently? Taxes imposed on minors - Minors employed in the workforce are not required to pay income tax. Any employer who imposes taxes on a minor will be found in violation of child labor laws. Any employer who employs more than 5 minors with intent to evade tax obligations; WILL be found in violation of child labor laws.”
