Where I stand…
“We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say "It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem." Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes.”
― Fred Rogers
Key Issues
01The Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake is one of Utah's most defining natural landmarks! A source of economic vitality, ecological health, and cultural identity. It has lost nearly 75% of its water volume. Toxic dust from the exposed lakebed is blowing into our neighborhoods. Wildlife is disappearing. And the politicians who were supposed to protect it have been too busy protecting the industries doing the damage. That ends now!
02Second Amendment
Responsible ownership means keeping guns secure. Proper storage prevents theft, reduces accidents, and keeps firearms out of the wrong hands. That's why I support voluntary incentive programs like tax credits for gun safes and trigger locks, with no mandates and no government inspections. Because here's the truth: every time a firearm is misused, it gives ammunition to those who want to take gun rights away entirely. The strongest defense of the Second Amendment isn't anger, it's responsibility. I will fight sweeping bans on law-abiding citizens and keep the focus where it belongs: on safety, education, and keeping guns out of the hands of those who would do harm.
03Artificial Intelligence
Technology moves fast and childhood doesn't get a second chance. Before AI takes a seat in our classrooms, we owe it to our kids to ask hard questions, demand real answers, and put their wellbeing first. Protect the early years, invest in teachers, and keep parents firmly in control. Our children are not a market to be captured and we should govern like we mean it.
