Reason for Seeking Public Office:
The members of Utah's political establishment do not represent the interests of their constituents, plain and simple. Instead of addressing the pressing needs of Utahns, such as our air quality crisis, the dominant party prefers to pass underhanded legislation that weakens clean energy initiatives.
Of course, this is but one example. We are also witnessing an alarming state of inaction on addressing Medicaid expansion and repairing our infrastructure. Meanwhile, Republicans seek to reclaim Utah's public lands so that they can be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
I'm running to fight for the interests of the vast majority of Utahns, as opposed the monied interests that fund the campaigns of most of our political leadership. The time has come for us to unite and stand together against our ineffectual and corrupt state government and demand immediate action on the issues that affect the lives of everyday Utahns.
If I am elected, I will work hard to advocate for the common interests of all Utah residents, as outlined on my issues page. In addition, I will leverage my position to bring hypocrisy and corruption to the attention of Utah voters, so that they can demand action from their legislators. Through the use of public exposure and political pressure, we can encourage our leadership to move on issues that they would typically ignore, out of fear of losing their seats.
