Education

I will fight to end voucher programs and ensure that public funds are spent where they belong—on public schools, public students, and public goods—so every Utah child has access to a strong, well-funded education. Learn more

Environment / Energy

I support bold, forward-thinking climate policies because conserving Utah’s air, water, and land is about stewardship—not ideology. Clean air means healthier families and lower healthcare costs. Smart water policy protects agriculture, growth, and future generations in a drought-prone state. Utah can lead by embracing practical, fiscally responsible solutions that safeguard our land, our economy, and our way of life—without sacrificing jobs, energy reliability, or individual freedom. Utah should be a climate leader among conservative-leaning states, proving that environmental responsibility and economic vitality go hand in hand. Learn more

I will stand firmly against any effort to dismantle environmental protections or restrict access to public lands in Utah. We must strengthen these protections, close loopholes, and ensure meaningful enforcement against major polluters. Utah’s wilderness is not a bargaining chip for opportunistic politicians—it is our shared inheritance, and it deserves defenders in government willing to fight for it. Learn more

Even more troubling is the resistance to meaningful water conservation from leaders with deep ties to water-intensive agriculture, including alfalfa production, one of the largest water users in the state. When those with financial interests tied to high water consumption are shaping conservation policy, the public has every right to question whose interests are being served. Restoring inflows to the Great Salt Lake is the cheapest, most effective solution we have—and the cost of failure will be paid by Utah families in lost jobs, higher healthcare costs, and irreversible environmental harm. As your Representative, I will fight for enforceable protections for the Great Salt Lake and common-sense water conservation policies across the state. Learn more

I support practical, forward-looking policies to safeguard our water: expanding water-wise landscaping incentives, modernizing irrigation infrastructure to reduce waste, constructing additional reservoirs designed as recreational spaces, funding agricultural water-efficiency programs, creating swales to better manage watershed runoff, and requiring long-term water planning for new developments. Smart conservation protects our communities, our agriculture, and sustainable growth—without resorting to costly, risky infrastructure projects that put taxpayers and residents on the hook.

If AI and data infrastructure is to be part of Utah’s future then it must benefit everyday Utahns, not just Big Tech. Economic growth should never come at the expense of our water, our environment, or our working families. We can welcome innovation without giving away our most precious resources or allowing dark-money billionaires to dictate all the terms. Learn more

Government Reform

I will support legislation to allow Ranked Choice Voting in all elections, from the local level to national level. Learn more

It’s time for limits—real limits—on how long someone can hold office. I support placing term limits on congressional representatives at both the federal and state level. I will advocate for a United States Constitutional amendment and a state constitutional amendment to ensure that no representative can stay in office indefinitely. Specifically, I support strong term limits: six terms in the House of Representatives and three terms in the Senate. By imposing term limits, we can ensure fresh ideas, renewed energy, and true accountability in government. Leaders should be citizens called to serve, not career politicians entrenched for life. Learn more

This is the ultimate exercise of the 10th Amendment. Since the Constitution does not grant the federal government power over corporate charters, that authority belongs to the States and the People. Utah should be next to follow Maryland’s lead and reclaim our sovereign authority to define the limits of corporate influence. While a national Constitutional Amendment remains the ultimate goal and should serve as a litmus test for every politician in D.C., Utah can lead the charge right now by ensuring our elections are decided by citizens, not by the highest bidder. Learn more

Healthcare

I will oppose any cuts to Medicare or Medicaid and will work to restore the damage that has already been done. Furthermore, I will always support Medicaid for All. Despite what corporate-owned media and politicians claim, removing profit-seeking middlemen from healthcare is how we lower costs, expand access, and save lives. Healthcare should serve people—not shareholders. Learn more

Housing

Supportive housing—paired with onsite services like case management, mental health care, addiction treatment, job training, and primary care—works, especially in rural communities where services are harder to access. It also saves money, costing far less than repeated emergency room visits, jail stays, and crisis interventions. I will work with the Utah Homeless Services Board to expand affordable housing, homeless shelters, food pantries, and integrated supportive services. Housing should be treated as the foundation of stability—not a reward. We can eliminate homelessness in Utah in a way that is compassionate, fiscally responsible, and grounded in evidence. Learn more

I will support legislation that encourages the construction of permanently affordable, mixed-use social housing, working with local governments to implement models tailored to each city. We must move housing out of the hands of profit-driven developers and back into the hands of Utahns who need a home. The tools we’ve relied on for decades are not enough—if we want Utah families to thrive, it’s time to build something new. Learn more

Infrastructure / Transportation

This approach delivers multiple benefits including lower construction costs and more affordable housing. More space for homes, businesses, parks, and public gathering places instead of oversized parking lots. A stronger, more walkable downtown. Better use of taxpayer infrastructure. Public parking assets that support local businesses without shifting costs onto existing residents. Iron County's rapid growth should help pay for the infrastructure it requires. By replacing outdated parking mandates with shared public investment, Iron County can reduce costs for developers, strengthen our local economy, and build downtowns that are more attractive, accessible, and financially sustainable for generations to come. Learn more

Legislation

This surveillance state has gone too far. I will support strong legislation to reestablish our rights to privacy, support safeguards against violations, and restore due process. Furthermore, I will support legislation to restrict corporation’s use of AI to surveil, track, and subject Utahns to predatory pricing algorithms. And finally, I will reverse the implementation of Flock Traffic Surveillance Cameras in this district and have any data collected on Utah drivers deleted. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

I will support the reintroduction of a progressive graduated income tax that sees all Utahns making less than 50k a year pay zero annual State Income Taxes. Learn more

Our elderly and disabled deserve to live out their lives with dignity. We all deserve to benefit from a system that we’ve paid into all our lives. You don’t have an option not to pay Social Security taxes, so why do they have the option to defund it while overspending by trillions every year. Utah is one of only nine states that taxes Social Security income. I will support legislation to repeal this tax. Learn more

I will support legislation aimed at weeding out waste, fraud and corruption in how our public funds are utilized, encouraging fair bidding on all government projects, and strengthening ethics requirements for our politicians. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

I will fight to protect Utah workers’ right to organize. I support strong legislation guaranteeing union protections and imposing significant penalties on anyone who engages in illegal union-busting. Utahns deserve fair wages, safe workplaces, and the ability to stand together without fear of political retaliation. Learn more
