Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm running to bring a fresh perspective and a new focus in the State Legislature. I will fight against unnecessary tax increases and focus on policies with taxpayers in mind. I will be an active voice for our Second Amendment and the right to life. I'm running to represent you and be your voice in the legislature, and I hope to earn your vote.

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?

The legislature must budget with taxpayers in mind and keep taxes limited while reducing wasteful spending. We shouldn't need a referendum to stop taxes on our groceries and gas, especially when we have a budget surplus.Each parent has the right to provide their children the best education. Nelson understands that parents, teachers and local school boards should be the major drivers on education, not big government. His focus will be on returning control to the parents and teachers to better prepare our students for the jobs of tomorrow. Nelson is opposed to federal intervention in education and will fight to protect parents' roles in providing the best education possible for their children.I love and support our constitution. It was never intended to be, and should not be, interpreted in the way it has. Judges should not interpret the constitution in a way that creates new laws. Instead, they should interpret the constitution to preserve the original intent of our founding fathers. If the constitution needs change or updating, that should be done through the amendment process, not by the courts.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I will focus on fiscal responsibility, keeping government limited and taxes low. I will focus on responsible growth, education and the issues that matter to Utah and its citizens.
