Expand all | Collapse all

  • Too many Utah families are working harder than ever and still struggling to make ends meet. Between housing, childcare, healthcare, and transportation costs, families are being stretched thin with little relief. As a working parent, I understand these pressures firsthand. I’m running to focus on practical, accountable solutions that help families stay afloat and get ahead, so Utah is a place where people can grow and thrive—not just survive.
  • Utah has been facing a childcare crisis for years, and it’s hurting families, employers, and our economy. Quality, affordable childcare is essential for parents to stay in the workforce and for children to succeed. After county-run childcare centers were abruptly closed without transparency or collaboration, I stepped up to advocate for families who were directly impacted. I will work to advance data-driven, sustainable childcare solutions that support working families and strengthen Utah’s economy.
  • Utahns deserve leaders who show up, listen, and make decisions with transparency and community input. Too often, policies are decided before they are voted on and shaped without considering their real-world impact on families. As a Navy veteran and community advocate, I believe accountability, integrity, and collaboration are essential to effective government. I’m committed to working across the aisle to focus on shared priorities and deliver results that put families and communities first.
I am most passionate about policies that support working families and strengthen and protect our communities. Having children of my own, I experience first-hand how difficult it is for us to keep up with rising costs of living. These costs rob families of any financial security, many living paycheck to paycheck.
I am also passionate about accountable, responsible, and transparent government. The people deserve leaders who are committed to making positive impacts on their constituents' lives and good stewards of state resources. As a Navy veteran, I believe integrity, responsibility, and service should guide public leadership. Finally, I want to be collaborative in our ways to find solutions that work for all people.
