• Drunk Driving... For over 25 years Utah's Mini Bottle Alcohol system actually increased consumption and reduced Dram Shop Liability: successfully developed a positive solution after bringing disparate parties together to reach common ground. • Efficient, effective and cheaper government..."Workforce Services" was: 26 programs; 7 Departments; inefficient and costly. The Republican Governor said of the Legislation I sponsored, after having hundreds of conversations and dozens of meetings, hearings, etc. "(it) was the most significant government reform in 40 years." We saved millions of taxpayer dollars and increased efficiency for citizens. 38 states now follow Utah's model. That's how you make change nationally. Do it right, here, first. I want to again address, in an open, bipartisan manner, issues such as: tax reform, 21st Century education, public safety, clean air, disappearing precious farmland. I have ideas that can be easily implemented without increasing tax levels. Let me again be a voice not an echo resolving Utah's problems by "Building Bridges not Barricades".

- Lower the recidivism rate in Utah
- Higher Education
PUBLIC SAFETY: Utah's criminal justice system is in desparate need of reform. 90% of those in the prison system will be back within 10 years. A reccent example of mismangement occurred when many prisoners were release early because of fears regarding Covid19. Each prisoner was issued the the balance in their prison commissary account and then dropped off at the nearest light rail station. It is no wonder why so many return to the criminal life they knew and then return to Prison.
These draw on multiple sources such as The Federalist Papers, The Jungle, Democracy in America, To Kill a Mockingbird, Don Quixote, The Wealth of Nations, and The Scriptures.
2.) As an individual citizen not in office, I worked to help a homeless individual with severe mental illness. I had no idea how difficult it is for a homeless person to change their situation. It took over a year of consistent effort to get him in a safe and stabile environment.
