Kyle Waters was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 51 of the Utah House of Representatives. He ran unsuccessfully for the same seat in 2014.[1]

Campaign themes

2014

Waters' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Education

  • Excerpt: "When it comes to education I believe in enpowering [sic] the local school boards, not one size fits all solutions from the state legislature."
  • Excerpt: "Legislation requiring school boards to purchase expensive technical solutions should be eliminated. Not that technology should be avoided, but the decisions about when to use it should be made by educators not politicians."

Public Lands

  • Excerpt: "Most of Utah is still owned by the federal government. There are many trying to force the federal government to sell off much of that land(including national forests, BLM land) to the highest bidder. They point to the money that will be generated through enegry [sic] development on these lands, but what do we do after we have ground up every rock, and dried every well? We have a great gift in that so much of our land still belongs to the public, we need to thing carefully and strategiclly [sic] before selling any of it off."

Air Quality

  • Excerpt: "I support increasing subsidizes to UTA in order to decrease pollution, a county or state wide hive pass would be a great solution. I also support tax subsidies to convert fireplaces to cleaner fuels. I oppose efforts to levy special taxes on fuel effecient [sic] vehicles."

Prison Move

  • Excerpt: "The current prison needs to be either updated or replaced. We can spend millions of dollars in tax payer money upgrading it or we can build a new one funded from the sale of the current property. The sale of the current property will allow Draper to develop a larger business district and tax base. There are serious concerns about moving the prison away from a metropolitan area where there may be limited access to professional help. I support moving the prison if we can keep cost below the value of the current land, and maintain easy access for professionals and visitors."

Medicaid Expansion

  • Excerpt: "Due too family, health, and other issues many people are unable to participate in full time employment. This allows their employer to avoid subsidizing their health care costs, leaving many of them with out affordable health care. This is especially harmful to those who are unable to work full time due health issues. They find everything they make and more being spent on medical care. For this reason I support adopting The Health Utah Plan."
