Get StartedProtecting democracy and access to the ballot box, ensuring fair district representation, and encouraging civic engagement are more than goals or objectives, it is in our very name! Shouting out voter fraud so that politicians can create laws to address voting problems that virtually do not exist by making it harder to vote is, in fact, a form of voter fraud. The disenfranchisement of voters is one of the last tools the opposition has to eke out a meager victory. To secure fair elections, every citizen must be protected and granted the opportunity to vote by mail if desired. This provides the most informed vote and the most accountability to our public servants. Learn more
We must work tirelessly to raise local incomes, support our unions, advocate for a living wage, and ensure fairer taxation to support vital public services. Promoting and nurturing new businesses and industries is important, but they must demonstrate sustainable plans and not detract from a community's character, housing, or living standards. Learn more
Promoting clean energy, protecting local air and water quality, and tackling climate change at the community level is a process that takes generations. Its policies and incentives can’t ebb and flow with every election. We need to respect science and incentivise opportunities to progress and adapt as new technologies bless us. We owe it to future generations to make responsible investments today to ensure long-term environmental stewardship. Learn more
We need to do everything possible to defend our farmlands and critical open spaces from sprawling development, but we also need to be willing to put up the funds and effort to make it work for the owners. The leasing of irrigation rights will be needed to make our Great Salt Lake great again. Open spaces, parks, and trails support not only our physical health but also our mental health by relieving the burdens of a hectic world and bringing peace to our spirits. Federal and state public lands must also be protected. These national assets are what make our country extraordinary. We the people own them, and they are not to be sold to the highest bidder.

Our children and youth are the hope and foundations of our future. Ensuring easy access to affordable, quality healthcare and promoting strong public education from pre-school through higher education or trade school is worth every dollar spent. Affordable knowledge and health care can also form the best defense for our nation and its values. Public education is what I have devoted my life to. And it faces many challenges, not the least of which are politicians who claim to know more about education and health than our professionals. This will always be one of my top priorities. Learn more
Providing or advocating for a safety net for vulnerable populations, including access to affordable housing and childcare, is essential. As we advocate for living wages, we must also develop innovative programs to provide secure, attainable housing for our families and communities. Many of our local communities, especially near recreation or resort areas, have seen property values skyrocket. We must find ways to stabilize property taxes for our older citizens who simply want to live and thrive on the property they have lived in for many years. We cannot lose our farmers, working-class people, or our senior citizens, who are the heart and the heritage of our communities. Learn more
