Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Economy: I’ll advocate for policy that fosters a business-friendly environment. I want to create jobs, remove ineffective taxes, reduce regulation, promote free-market solutions, and expand job creation. I'll support small businesses by focusing on workforce deployment, energy independence, and technology for economic growth.Affordable Housing: For decades, Utah has experienced unprecedented growth. This growth, soaring inflation, and high interest rates has caused the dream of home ownership to slip away from many.

To tackle these issues, it's crucial that government initiatives support, rather than hinder, solutions, avoiding regulations or procedures that could worsen the housing crisis.Water Policy: I am committed to finding a balance between agricultural and urban water needs in our community. I advocate for local control, market-based solutions, and infrastructure investments. I will protect private property rights, and create systems for voluntary conservation.
