Issues
A Passionate
Conservative Voice
with Experience and Skill
for the Utah Legislature
Education:
The success of our families, our communities, and our state depends upon
a quality education available and affordable to all. That education can be
provided in several ways: public education, charter schools, private home
schooling, private schools, private and public applied technology centers,
community colleges and universities. All of which must be accountable for
the quality of education services they provide. Parents should play a significant
roll in the education of their children and in fact be able to choose
where they send their children. The education services must be well funded
and managed as if they were private service-oriented businesses.
Family:
The family is the foundation of society, every family. Public policy
should support every family regardless of its makeup to achieve success
in providing a safe, empowering place for children to grow, with
love and support of those in parental roles.
Fiscal Responsibility:
We need a legislature that respects the free market and the ability
of Utah residents to make the best choices as to how they invest
and spend their own hard earned dollars. The legislature should
not be looking for ways to get into our pocketbooks, but they
should be finding ways to be more creative and efficient.
Dignity and Worth/Inclusion:
Every person in our community deserves to be treated with dignity and
every person's worth needs to be recognized, particularly by those who
work and legislate for us. Every one should have a place at the table in this
great state.
Safety and Security:
Every person deserves a safe and secure community where public
policy protects fairly and enforcement applies to everyone.
Economic Development:
Society does not work well unless the economy is strong and just. Family
members need jobs, resources, and opportunity. Communities must be financially
healthy to allow every one in the community to take advantage of the
results of hard work. We must have a court system that does not punish our
families and businesses through unfair lawsuits that create economic or personal
damage. He will be a strong advocate for the protection of our property
rights, all our families and our first amendment rights.
Justice:
Openness:
Government needs to be open, truthful and responsive to everyone in
the state because its business is our business. Currently public policy
is being created by a legislature which does not adequately listen
to the views of all of the constituents. In fact, it treats as enemies
those with opposing viewpoints. He wants to start to change that.
Truth in Government:
