The area that Legislative 16 covers is one of the most important districts in the state. We cover Hill Air Force Base, a number of water sources for the Great Salt Lake, a huge job center, transportation corridors, and needed affordable housing.

2. What unique qualities, attributes, skills, and experiences do you possess that make you the best candidate in this race?

3. Please explain your priorities if elected, as well as why you believe you are uniquely capable of achieving those priorities.

4. Please describe how you view the importance of compromise in politics and provide an example from your own experiences that highlights your perspective.

Compromise in local and state government is imperative to moving our state forward. When government is in gridlock like the federal level is, nothing gets accomplished. The Legislature must balance fiscal costs along with mandates that not only effect state levels but also education, Cities, and County’s.  Many taxpayers do not realize the passed down costs that the state government can mandate without any fiscal support. The Utah Association of Counties along with the League of Cities and Towns work very closely with the Legislature to protect our taxpayers at the local level.
