Young Utahns face a myriad of challenges, from housing affordability to voting rights to climate change and everything in between. The state legislature has a role to play in solving these problems. With regards to housing affordability, the state legislature has a role to play by making sure each and every county is building its fare share of housing. I believe that by adding housing supply of all typologies, including townhomes, ADUs, duplexes and triplexes, not just McMansions, we can work to bring the cost of housing down. I will also work to continue to make sure Utahns of all ages have access to the ballot box. As you know, voting rights are under attack, including Utah’s gold standard mail in voting program. As a State Representative I will not only work to preserve our mail in voting but to make it easier for all to participate, because American democracy thrives when we all have a voice. Thirdly, we, as a state, need to do what we can to combat the climate crisis. Not only is this issue important for our ski resorts, but since the younger generation will be around for years to come, I want to make sure that the world I leave for my children and my children’s children is better than the way we found it. One of the reasons I decided to run is because our legislature treats climate change as a joke and I don’t find that particularly funny.
