In this difficult year together we've faced a pandemic, an economic crisis, and moments of civil unrest and uncertainty. I will always work hard to keep our state thriving and prosperous, a place for businesses and families to grow and succeed. I stand strong for the principles that have made Utah the best managed state in the nation, with the best economy, the lowest unemployment rate, and the best opportunities for upward mobility. I'm Jeff Stenquist and I hope to have your support and your vote this November.
- I support a strong economy by focusing on an educated workforce, low taxes and limited government regulations.
- I believe in involving parents in education while finding innovative ways to reward teachers and decrease class sizes.
- I believe in protecting hardworking taxpayers with low-rate broad tax policies.
I've pushed for increased awareness of the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Pre-natal alcohol exposure in any amount at any time during pregnancy creates permanent damage to the brain of a developing fetus and will result in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and a lifelong disability that results in behavioral problems and increased cost to social services. FASD is 100% preventable.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
