“His campaign is guided by three principles: Fairness. Access. Opportunity. Fairness in how we treat one another. Access to healthcare, education, and a voice in government. Opportunity for every family to build a stable, successful future.” (Campaign website)
“I believe extreme concentrations of wealth undermine fairness and opportunity. I support targeted tax increases on the wealthiest Utahns - including higher income, capital gains, estate, and wealth taxes - to limit excessive economic power and reinvest in children, families, and public services. My goal is a market that works for everyone, not just the top 1%.” (Campaign website)
“I believe no one deserves unchecked political power. I support campaign finance limits, protecting mail-in voting, defending citizen-led ballot initiatives, and reinstating Utah's independent redistricting commission. My focus is building a transparent, accountable government that truly reflects the will of the people.” (Campaign website)
