“I strongly believe politicians must represent us, not rule us. Therefore, I will seek and encourage constituents' and subject matter experts' input. I won't be annoyed by it or ignore it when I personally disagree. Nor will I blindly support every position of my political party without considering popular opinion and the best interests of our citizens. As an engineer, I believe in common-sense, facts, and science. I believe good-faith compromise is healthy.”
(Ballotpedia) “It was out of that frustration that I decided to run for the Utah House of Representatives for District 74, which covers the Western part of St George, along with Ivins, Santa Clara, Bloomington, and Sun River. I am not a politician. But I am strongly motivated by a desire to do what's right for the people, and to bring a constructive balance to an extremely one-sided legislature.”
(Campaign website) “I think we deserve better from our state lawmakers. If you agree, please check out my platform and join me to help make the Utah government work for all of us.”
