- Sustainable Growth - Utah is one of the fastest-growing states in the Country, and Cache County is one of the fastest-growing areas. We have one chance to 'get it right'. Platitudes and the same old actions will end up making us look like everywhere else. Our communities need someone with perspective and experience. I’ve lived all over the country and have seen what works and what doesn’t, and I’ve spent 4 years on the Cache County Council working on land use issues. I’m up to speed and can be effective day 1
- Safe Communities - Our communities are some of the safest anywhere, but we aren’t problem-free. The legislature made well-meaning but misguided changes to the criminal justice system a few years ago. A sustained effort need to be made to update the code with a focus on results, not intentions. Our public safety officials should have the tools they need to keep us safe AND protect our rights. In addition to public safety, I’ve worked with the health department on physical and mental health issues. You deserve a representative that is focused on addressing root causes, not just knee jerk reactions.
- Sensible Governance -Competent governance is sorely needed today. Every person needs to have confidence and trust in the institutions that make our day-to-day life work. We need legislators who are interested in governing, not grandstanding. Lawmakers focused on effective policy rather than empty performance. My full four-year term on the county council was spent working on improving internal controls, expanding transparency, and updating code language. I have a solid track record of effectively legislating.
The Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers
The Constitution of Liberty - FA Hayek
Democracy in America - Alexis de Tocqueville
The Quest for Cosmic Justice - Thomas Sowell
The Theory of Moral Sentiments - Adam Smith
Do the Right Thing - Walter Williams
A Treatise of Human Nature - David Hume
- And yes, I've read these books. As a trained economist, I actually enjoy these texts!
