Your Money. Your Priorities.
Every tax dollar represents hours of your labor. Government has a moral obligation to spend it wisely.
Families in Herriman, Magna, Kearns, and across District 11 budget carefully. They prioritize needs over wants. They find ways to do more with less. Government should operate the same way—but too often, it doesn't. Budgets grow automatically while efficiency remains an afterthought.
With 18+ years managing operations budgets—stretching resources, finding efficiencies, delivering results—I know how to get value from every dollar. That's the mindset I'll bring to the Utah Senate.
Every program should justify its existence, not just its growth. I'll push for regular zero-based budget reviews that identify waste and redirect resources to actual priorities.
Rising property values shouldn't mean rising tax bills that force families from their homes. I'll fight for property tax caps and relief measures that protect homeowners.
Before government asks for more money, it should prove it's spending current revenue wisely. I'll oppose new taxes and fee increases unless matched by demonstrated efficiency gains.
Utah's rainy day fund protects us during downturns. I'll defend it against raids for pet projects while ensuring it remains available for genuine emergencies.
In the private sector, budget failures have consequences. Projects get cancelled. Companies fail. People lose jobs. That accountability drives efficiency in ways government rarely experiences.
I've managed multi-million dollar operations budgets. I've had to deliver results with limited resources. I've found efficiencies that others missed. That experience taught me that waste isn't inevitable—it's a choice. And it's a choice we can make differently.
"Government doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a priorities problem. Let's fix that."
