People over politics.

I support a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits.

Everyone deserves their rights protected.
-Congressional Term Limits. Career politicians have become too commonplace. Our leaders gain power and never let it up. This is contrary to the spirit of our democracy. I believe it is time that we place congressional term limits on both a federal and state level. I promise to support and advocate for a United States Constitutional amendment and for an amendment to our state government's constitution that will place term limits on our congressional representatives.

-Affordable and Attainable Housing. I will work with local governments to rework zoning laws to be more favorable towards residential housing. Additionally, I am favor of subsidies, or government loans to low-income families that are seeking to purchase homes. I also support legislation that would prioritize selling homes and housing properties to families first before allowing major corporations or developers. Home ownership is the only real tenable way for families to develop generational wealth. I support any policy that will ensure that people have access to property.

-Education. Utah is ranked near the national bottom for money spent per student. We need to invest more into our student’s education and futures. This will only be accomplished if we increase funding, but also clean up some of the unnecessary bureaucracy in schools. Less administrators more teachers. Along these lines, I would encourage supporting and providing raises for exceptional teachers to keep them in the classroom.

Water conservation.

Affordable and attainable housing.

Women's reproductive rights.

Democracy requires compromise and tolerance. I will work to ensure that the government works for everyone.
