What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | I am passionate about health care for children. Our state has lagged in many ways in efforts to improve health care, access to affordable insurance, mental health services, and preventative care for children. I have practiced pediatrics for twenty years and feel it is time that a moderate with health care experience assist the families of the state of Utah as they care for their children at a legislative level, not just in the office.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4]
