Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Jill Koford (R)

Inflation is crushing Utah Famililes - it's time for meaningful tax cuts for Utah families. Cutting income taxes will allow you to keep more of your hard earned income. You spend your money more effectivley for your family than the government.

We can fully fund education without raising taxes, support teachers and give parents choice in how to best educate their children. The Utah constitution clearly states that parents have the primary responsibility for the education of they children. It's time we all came together to form policies that elevate all outcomes for all Utah students.

Jill will support policies that lead to more high-skill, high-paying jobs in District 10. Let's keep our homegrown talent here by working to bring those jobs to Weber County.

Rosemary Lesser (D)

Healthy Families: Improve health care access, funding for public education, eliminate state sales tax on groceries, and foster affordable childcare.

Healthy Communities: Support our educators, promote attainable housing, honor our veterans, and maintain our election integrity.

Healthy Environment: Advocate for clean air, clean water, and clean energy, ensure smart growth, and preserve the Great Salt Lake.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jill Koford (R)

Jill will protect our tax dollars by reducing spending and working for meaningful tax cuts for Utah families. Jill believes in innovation rather than regulation is the key to a thriving economy, small and limited government is good government and applying free market principles creates more opportunity, prosperity and freedoms for Utahns. We need a legislator in District 10 who has a seat at the table when decisions are being made - it's time your voice was heard and amplified at the state.

Rosemary Lesser (D)

I am passionate about promoting policies that support better mental and physical health for all Utahns, including access to care and affordability. I am passionate about equal rights for all member of my community. I strongly support policies that promote stewardship of the environment in our state for the benefit of current Utahns and the generations that follow.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Jill Koford (R)

I will never forget when Ronald Reagan came to Hooper in September 1982. My oldest brother and I stood in the rain for what felt like hours to be able to listen to the president speak.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Jill Koford (R)

My very first working experience was as a summer volunteer in the Weber County Clerk's office where I helped with new computer technology. My first paid job was at Chick-Fil-A in the Ogden City Mall where I worked throughout high school and earned my first scholarship from the company.
