ISSUES

Personal Liberty

The right to keep and bear arms is protected in both the US Constitution and the Utah Constitution and will never be infringed by me. 

financial freedom

Government doesn't do anything well or efficiently but does have some constitutionally mandated tasks that can only be done collectively, such as the national defense. In determining the proper tax rates, we always need to do a test of necessity and analyze the rate of return to the taxpayer. 

ENERGY security

Energy is the lifeblood of our economy and electricity is second only to air and water in importance to our survival. Lack of understanding of the laws of physics is evident in some government mandates and proposals and we need a power engineer in the state legislature to correct those errors.
