Campaign websitesLisonbee's campaign website stated the following:Washington is broken, but our principles remain strong. Here is what Karianne will fight for every single day in Congress.Secure the Border"A nation that cannot control its own border is not a sovereign nation. We must finish the job."Karianne fully supports the Trump administration's mission to restore order at our southern border — completing the wall, ending catch-and-release, deporting criminal illegal aliens, and dismantling the cartels that profit from human trafficking. Northern Utah communities deserve the safety and rule of law that a secure border provides.Taxes & Fiscal Responsibility"Real cuts. Real money back in real people's pockets."In an era of runaway federal spending and a ballooning national debt, northern Utah needs a representative who has actually balanced budgets – not one who campaigns on fiscal responsibility and votes for trillion-dollar omnibus packages stuffed with liberal pork.Second Amendment"I have an A+ lifetime rating from the NRA. That's a record of votes, not a rating I bought with a campaign check."The Second Amendment is not a bargaining chip. Northern Utah knows that — and Karianne has never forgotten it. She sponsored CCW legislation for adults 18–20 and has fought back every attempt to erode gun rights.Life"I am 100% pro-life. Not 90%. Not 'with exceptions that grow every year.' One hundred percent."Karianne passed the abortion ban that protected Utah's unborn the moment Dobbs was decided. She sponsored the Down Syndrome Nondiscrimination Abortion Act. She passed a bill protecting the dignity of fetal remains. In Congress, she will fight to protect life at every stage.Education & Parental Rights"I believe parents are their children's first and best teachers. My record backs that up."Education choice is not anti-public school — it's pro-child. Karianne will fight to push education decisions back to states and parents — away from the federal bureaucracy.Hill Air Force Base"Hill AFB is the economic backbone of northern Utah and a cornerstone of American air power. I will never stop fighting to protect its mission."Hill Air Force Base is Utah's largest single-site employer and home to the F-35 depot — critical to our national defense and to tens of thousands of northern Utah families. Karianne will fight in Congress for Hill's funding, expansion, and long-term mission security, and stand firmly against any attempt to reduce its footprint.MAHA — Healthy Families"Utah families deserve to know what's in their food and their medicine. Washington has looked the other way for too long."The Make America Healthy Again movement is about demanding honesty from our food system, ending the chronic disease epidemic plaguing American children, and restoring accountability to federal health agencies. Karianne will support legislation to remove harmful additives from our food supply, increase transparency in pharmaceutical approvals, and put Utah families' health ahead of corporate lobbyists.Election Integrity"Every legal vote must count — and every illegal vote cancels out a real citizen's voice. That is not acceptable."Free and fair elections are the foundation of our Republic. Karianne supports Voter ID requirements, same-day registration verification, secure paper ballot trails, and eliminating election practices that undermine public confidence. She will fight to ensure that every election in Utah and across America is transparent, auditable, and trustworthy.Ban Congressional Stock Trading"If trading on privileged information is illegal on Wall Street, it should be illegal in Washington. Period."Members of Congress receive classified briefings, preview pending legislation, and influence regulatory decisions before the public does. Using that access — or allowing spouses and family members to use it — to profit in the markets is a corruption of the public trust. Karianne will support legislation to ban members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks while in office. Americans deserve representatives focused on their constituents, not their portfolios.Energy"Energy prices are hurting northern Utah families. I've voted to cut the gas tax in Utah and increase production in our great state. It's time to unleash American production and end the war on fossil fuels."As a legislator, Karianne voted to cut gas taxes and increase production of energy right here in Utah. Energy prices are hurting northern Utah families. Karianne will fight Biden Era Green New Deal policies, cut burdensome regulations and permitting requirements on energy production, and support the continued exploration and production of fossil fuels, natural gas, and nuclear energy.— Karianne Lisonbee's campaign website (May 29, 2026)Lisonbee's campaign website stated the following:Secure the Border"A nation that cannot control its own border is not a sovereign nation.
