Born and raised in Utah, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and am currently enrolled in a Master’s program for Public Administration. I have extensive leadership experience, training in mediation and conflict resolution, and a long-standing commitment to public service and volunteerism. My experience in community-based real estate development and neighborhood revitalization work has given me a deep understanding of the challenges and dynamics of rural communities. I believe my professional background, education and skill set make me uniquely qualified to represent our district’s diverse constituency of voters in the Utah State Senate.
  • Housing security and a path to affordable homeownership are the foundations of the American Dream. Housing insecurity has created a domino effect of other problems including our substance use disorder epidemic and lack of civic engagement. It exacerbates poverty and discourages people from starting families and being integrated members of their communities. Increasing homeownership and walkability in our towns will generate safer, richer, more healthy and beautiful neighborhoods for everyone.
  • It’s imperative that we attract new businesses and a wider variety of job opportunities to rural Utah to become more economically resilient. With Artificial Intelligence set to further disrupt our economy, we must anticipate change and be prepared to adapt. Utah’s open-source, creative culture is attractive to young entrepreneurs, artists and remote tech workers. We would be wise to attract additional talent, to promote and grow our art and film industries, while also continuing to develop our public lands for enhanced outdoor recreation opportunities and increased tourism revenues.
  • The substance use disorder epidemic has claimed many lives within our community and continues to be a major challenge. We need to address some of the root causes of SUD, namely housing insecurity, poverty, and a cultural crisis of disconnection, while also providing resources and support for prevention, treatment and recovery at every stage. Pharmaceutical companies should be held responsible for unnecessarily pushing addictive opiates on patients, and these medicines should be administered with better medical oversight when necessary.
In short, the things I will work hardest to achieve in office are expanding pathways to homeownership, strengthening communities, improving public health, and doing what’s in the best interests of regular working people and families.
I think so much of being successful in this role comes down to building relationships, being a good listener, facilitating collaboration between different parties and stakeholders, and helping to increase civic engagement and participation.
