Education: We need a heartfelt and sincere voice for teachers and parents, someone that cares. Too often we hear promises that fall short. We need results rather than chatter.

Open Government: Too much secrecy in our government has led our elected leaders to abuse the voters, our taxes and our trust. The recipe for change is to elect a caring and a straightforward voice of the people, to stir up the “soup” in the “government pot”. Legislators have to be reminded that they are employed by the people.

Taxes: Too many promises are made about taxes and little has been done to relieve the tax burden of average, working (and retired) middle-class residents in Davis County. Rather than focus on tax cuts for a few, we should strongly consider easing the tax burden on families who are struggling to make ends meet.
