I love the outdoors and have a wife and 4 kids. I am pro-life, pro religion and pro 2nd amendment and I will uphold all of our Constitutional rights!

I support the Tea Party and I was the Davis County, Utah Chair for the Ted Cruz for President campaign in 2016 in Utah. I took my Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution seriously and would do the same as a United States Congressman. I support President Donald J. Trump!

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to my friend - United States Senator Mike Lee. As a fellow Constitutional conservative I look up to Senator Mike Lee. Senator Lee is 6 years older than I am. He has kept his campaign promises and has worked hard for "We the People of Utah". I would follow Senator Lee's example just as he has kept his Oath of Office and has protected the Constitutional rights of We the People. I volunteered on his first campaign in 2010 and his second one in 2016.

This is exactly the type of representative I vow to be. A steward of We the People. A protector of the original textual Constitutional powers. Protecting Utah's 1st Congressional Districts Constituents life, liberty and happiness! Like Mike, I am not afraid to stand up on my own two feet for what is right Constitutionally, against any political party member.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Yes, The Story of young Deserae Turner of Cache County Utah. She was shot in the head at age 14 and left for dead by a canal for 8 hours to die, until found. She survived and is "tougher than a bullet". She and her family still support the 2nd amendment and the United States Constitution and she is an example of faith, integrity and humility and has a positive outlook on life and continues to battle through her disabilities and trials and pain daily, stemming from the shooting incident. If I am elected to office and do not break any rules in doing so, I have pledged to donate 5% of my monthly salary in Congress to Deserae Turner to help with her medical bills and to help her get her robotic arm to help her have use of her paralyzed left arm.
