Expand all | Collapse all

I am a family man who would like to see the rights of the people protected. At this time in our nation’s and our state’s history, I believe that common sense needs to be restored to our decision making regarding the future for our children and grandchildren. We are being bombarded with ideas, policy, and laws that, in my opinion, defy common sense. I will fight for the family and for our schools to restore Constitutional common sense to Utah. I am the only Officially Endorsed Candidate of the Republican Party for this race. The incumbent opponent is NOT endorsed by the Republican Party.
  • I am pro-life. I believe the rights of the unborn need to be protected. The incumbent has voted in favor of abortion and has received a negative rating by the group, Pro-Life Utah. I believe the people of Davis County deserve a candidate who more closely represents the values of Utah.
  • I am in favor of Medical Freedom. I am a retired orthopedic surgeon. I was also the team doctor for the Utah Jazz for 36 years. I have advocated from the beginning that one-size-fits-all mandates are not appropriate. No one has a right to your medical information and no one should be giving you medical advice but your medical professional. What's best for you is between you and your medical provider.
  • I believe in being fiscally responsible. I believe in limited government. I believe in school choice and parent choice. I believe in education transparency. School districts should be absolutely transparant with everything being taught, so parents have ready access to it.


I am passionate about preserving women's sports. Biological males should not be competing with biological females. We also should not allow the transitioning of minors in the state of Utah.

I am passionate about ESG. It is catastrophic move that big corporations are pushing for political ends in trying to force other companies, individuals and investors to comply with political motives. It's holding them hostage. I am passionately opposed to ESG and all that it implies.

The state has to be very careful in what it spends and what it spends it on.

I'm passionate about the federal system. The power should reside with the people. The federal government should not be taking power from the states. I am passionate about preserving our constitution.

I am passionate about freedom of speech. Big Tech companies and the Government are both stifiling free speech. There needs to be legislation at the state and national level. We need to demand that big tech platforms are neutral. All legal speech needs to be permitted on all social media platforms.
I look up to Christ. I want to follow His example because He was the great example among all men. His is a perfect example as opposed to a qualified example that other men might have.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged and George Orwell, 1984
A strong moral compass, steadfast ethics, congeniality, and strong principled positions.
Passion, intellectual honesty, congeniality, strong work ethic
To view all issues and bills coming before the legislature through the lens of constitutionality, necessity, and affordibility.
I remember crossing the Pacific in a ship and being chased by Japanese submarines during World War II. We were crossing to California from Hawaii and we were being chased by 2 Japanese submarines. We had to go up on deck and put on our life jackets in case the ship was torpedoed. We stood up there for hours until a submarine chaser came in and sunk one of the submarines. The other submarine took off at that point. I was quite young when it happened, but the memory has stuck with me.
My first job was a janitor in a hospital from the age of 12 to the age of 18. My job was cleaning the hallways, mowing the lawns, landscaping and filling the coal hopper with coal twice a day. I went to school during the day then rode my bike to the hospital to work 2- 3 hours each day.
The Bible. I come back to it the most.
Sherlock Holmes. I like the analysis that is done.
Hallelujah Chorus
That relationship has to be one of compromise. It should be a congenial relationship in order for it to be successful. If they are at eachother's necks all the time, nothing will get done.
The biggest challenge in Utah is the same that faces the rest of the country: Freedom of Speech. Also, freedom of economic opportunity.

Drought is the biggest issue specific to Utah.

The overturn of Roe v. Wade will force the issue of abortion back to the individual states. This means Utah must set its own rules and regulations and legislators will need to represent the values of the people of Utah by by setting tight restrictions on abortion.

Controlling the advances on education by the progressive left is also an issue that needs to be addressed.
A unicameral state legislature is able to act quickly, but less deliberatively. As a result the process is not as thoughtful as a bicameral legislature and does not have the checks and balances that a bicameral legislature has.

A bicameral's greatest advantages is that every issue and every bill has to be voted on twice by the Senate and House.

The disadvantage is that it is sometimes unwieldy and slow, but it is not necessarily a major disadvantage because lawmaking should be slow and deliberative to achieve the best outcomes.
Not necessarily. In fact I would favor, in most instances, term limits, so that there is a regular turnover.
Absolutely. You try to build consensus either to bring people over to your way of thinking, cross over to their way of thinking, or, for best outcomes, come to some form of compromise. There needs to be an exchange of ideas to decide what the best result will be. If you're working in isolation, you're not going to be effective.
Where possible, redistricting should be done by unbiased persons who do not benefit directly from the redistricting process. They do need, however, to have some preliminary introduction to what is possible and what is impossible to do in the way of redistricting in that area or state. Districts should be contiguous and as homogeneous as is possible.
I would like to be a part of the education committee, any committe addressing medical issues and, areas related to the preservation of basic rights, including speech.
Ronald Reagan
Capital NO
The horse walks into the bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"
Yes. That is the constitutional system. The power of the people has to be over emergency powers. That's the only way the people can be protected.
There are issues that can be compromised and there are some issues that cannot be compromised. Most bills and issues are compromiseable. However, the freedoms guaranteed in the constitution are specifically stated in such a way that they cannot be compromised.
