Tucker Smith completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2026. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Smith's responses.
| Collapse all
- Access to opportunity starts early. I support universal childcare, universal Pre-K, and fully funded, tuition-free K–12 public education — including eliminating school fees and covering meals and extracurriculars. I believes every child deserves an equal starting point.
- I believe economic opportunity requires quality jobs that pay a living wage. I support protecting labor unions, strengthening worker protections, and expanding opportunities for workers to organize. My goal is to ensure that working families share in Utah’s economic growth.
- I believe housing is a necessity, not an investment asset. I support increasing housing supply through zoning reform while discouraging corporate ownership and speculation. My proposal includes requiring affordable units in new developments, expanding non-market housing options, taxing secondary homes, and limiting corporate dominance in housing construction to ensure real affordability for Utah families.
