| Collapse all
- PROPORTIONAL VOTE, FAIR ELECTION
• Political parties deserve to nominate candidates – only proportional to their registered voters. • This will help us solve REAL issues and overcome centuries of bureaucratic misrepresentation. • Applied consistently across all levels of government, without partisan bias.
Example: Utah has 4 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Only about 50% of state's registered voters are affiliated with the Republican party. The Republicans should only nominate 2 candidates to any of the 4 seats. This does not mean Democrats get the other 2 seats, as the party only has about 20-25% of voter affiliates. They would nominate only one candidate, and would still have to battle independents and 3rd party. - AFFORDABLE HOMES, STRONG COMMUNITIES • Regulate large out-of-state corporations buying rental properties. • Protect lower and middle class from unjust displacement by private owners. • Build more apartments and starter homes to stabilize the housing market.
- EMPOWER TEACHERS, ELEVATE EDUCATION • Classes should have more support, more than one teacher per class. • Better compensation for teachers, and clear responsibilities for student benefit. • Personalized curriculum to address academic learning differences among children.

Interview with the Utah News Dispatch
Bullard highlighted the following themes in an interview with the Utah News Dispatch in 2024. The questions from the Utah News Dispatch are bolded and Bullard's responses follow below.[2]
| “ |
Utah needs: What’s Utah's biggest need, and how would you address it? Utah's biggest need is affordable housing. Interest rates are high AND purchase costs are high. We can't have both. I think the best way to address this is to redirect some government funding to subsidize material cost, labor costs, etc. This will bring down purchase costs and rent. I also think there needs to be well-defined standards as to how a landlord can charge rent. Candidate priorities: Name one thing you intend to pursue in your first 100 days if elected? If elected, within 100 days I want to push for a constitutional amendment limiting the scope of all political parties. Parties would only be able to nominate candidates to parallel offices proportional to the amount of voter affiliates the party has. Each political group has at least one nomination. This would protect the people and limit government to its intended operations by keeping candidates accountable. Serving all Utahns: If elected, how would you serve your constituents who didn’t vote for you? I intend to serve all constituents. Democrats, Republicans, everyone. I am a candidate for the people because I understand what affects Utah residents and I know how we can do better and be better.[3] |
