Working Hard For You
Our Children
Today’s children are the future, and as your legislator, I have done and will continue to do everything to protect them. I have championed safe walking routes to school, as well as created programs to educate pregnant women on the dangers of drinking while pregnant. I have fought for an increase in education funding, and I make ensuring a safe learning environment one of my number one priorities.
Air Quality
The Salt Lake Metropolitan area ranks the 7th worst in the nation for air quality. Being in a valley and having cold winter months only amplifies this effect. We need to find the balance between economic growth, and an air quality that all Utahns can be proud of. I have worked to pass sustainable legislation that encourages upgrading old furnaces, cars, and even wood stoves. I have also worked to provide funding towards new air quality research equipment. I am a firm believer that Utah can have an enjoyable environment, but still see growth in our economy.
Taxes
I believe in protecting hardworking taxpayers as well as maintaining a healthy economy by maintaining low-rate, broad-based tax policies. We have to be competitive on the national stage to attract workers and businesses. The best way to spur economic growth is to let families and businesses keep and spend more of their own money in the way they see fit. This is why I am committed to end burdensome regulations which stifle new business and job growth. It is because of Utah’s fiscal stability, we were one of the only states during the pandemic to see an increase in education funding.
