In an interview with the Utah political news site FortyFive, Hemmert listed the following as the top three issues facing Utah:[5]

How to deal with population growth (including education, transportation, water)

Excerpt: "I believe building reasonable transportation infrastructure and ensuring that we have sufficient water for our future needs are both areas that are within the proper role of government and areas that I will generally support."

Government’s encroachment on personal freedom

Excerpt: "Regarding the slow encroachment of government into our personal freedoms I want voters to know that they can count on me to push back against efforts to erode our personal freedoms whether those efforts are intentional or not."

How to support business growth and development within the proper role of government

Excerpt: "[W]e must continue to support business to attract high paying jobs for our children. This should not be done through state sponsored advantages, e.g., tax incentives or other mechanisms that “pick favorites,” instead this should be accomplished through support of reasonable deregulation and low and equitable taxes for all."
