Statement

Utah is nationally recognized as the best managed state in the country. I am grateful you trusted me to help form policies and initiatives which brought this about. Our economy is stable, but there are challenges ahead and much still needs to be done.

Utahans need good jobs to provide for their families and buy affordable homes. Our children deserve a good education and a future full of opportunity.

The Jordan School District East/West split has created many unknowns. It will affect all Westside residents who live in both Granite and Jordan School Districts. I understand the issues and have worked tirelessly to protect our children and our pocketbooks.

We have made progress in meeting the demands of education, but we have a long way to go.

Transportation is still an important issue. East/West corridors still need improvement and the construction of the Mountain View Corridor needs to take place -- without being a toll road.

With the current energy crisis, it is imperative that new energy sources be developed.

Please vote on November 4th and allow me to continue working for you.

Thank you!

Utah State Senator, District 6
