Expand all | Collapse all

I have worked with people in this state regarding the issues that concern them the most for the past two years. These things include: legislation, advocating for educational excellence, supporting constitutional law enforcement, assisting those across the state with the impact of unemployment, working with those addicted to substances, recently incarcerated, and homeless, mental health, advocating for medical freedom/personal privacy, and publicly spoken at hearings to address these issues.
  • Individual Rights: medical freedom, free market, privacy
  • Educational excellence: parent-led, local values, improve curriculum
  • Defend state sovereignty from federal overreach: reclaim Utah land, protect our state from federal EOs that conflict with our Constitution, get Feds out of our education.
I am concerned about protecting the rights of the individual no matter where their politics fall. The duty of one in office is to protect the rights of the individual and honor their oath. It was never a powerful government that created our incredible nation, it was always the power of incredible people. Small government is key.
As mentioned above, we need to improve Utah's educational system by empowering parents and teachers to work together and lead education instead of bureaucrats, the Feds, and private interest groups. Lastly, in a day of rising inflation, I believe that Utah can utilize our state motto of industry and thrift to combat inflation. We need innovative ideas to help our people be able to afford housing, gas, and food. I want to collaborate with the best minds to work towards solutions in the state. We need to recognize federal overreach on several accounts and we need strong leadership to defend our state when the feds are operating outside of their jurisdiction.
