Top Issues

Immigration I support permanently protecting Dreamers, expanding access to legal status, defending asylum protections, and ending policies that criminalize families seeking safety. Government Reform I will defend the rule of law and fight to make the justice department independent, fair, and focused on upholding the rule of law—not targeting political opponents. Environment / Energy I will fight to restore and protect the Great Salt Lake, whose decline threatens Utah’s air quality, public health, wildlife habitat, and economy. That means pushing for smart water policy and conservation efforts that keep the lake healthy even during seasons of drought. Economy ’ll work to lower food costs by opposing tariffs and tax policies that raise prices for consumers and hurt working families. Environment / Energy I support expanding clean energy, modernizing the electrical grid, and investing in transportation infrastructure that creates jobs and secures our energy future. Government Reform I will work to strengthen, not weaken, our alliances so that America can again be a trusted partner and respected leader on the global stage. Civil Rights I will continue defending the rights and safety of all Utahns, including transgender Americans who deserve the ability to live authentically and securely free from harassment or exclusion. Abortion / Contraception I support codifying Roe into federal law to ensure women’s health decisions are protected nationwide. Healthcare ’ll fight to lower health care costs by protecting coverage, reducing prescription drug prices, and standing up to policies that put insurance company profits ahead of patients. Immigration I will work to dismantle the current enforcement model that relies on fear and indiscriminate raids, replace it with a system rooted in constitutional protections, and refocus federal resources on genuine public safety threats. Housing ’ll work to bring down the cost of housing, expand opportunities for first time homebuyers, increase housing supply, cut red tape that drives up costs, and support policies that help working families afford a safe place to live. Environment / Energy I will protect Utah’s public lands and national parks from being sold off and exploited. Immigration Immigration reform must center human rights, keep families together, and create a clear, achievable pathway to citizenship.
