The work isn’t done.
I’m running for reelection to continue representing District 11 and fighting for the communities I serve.

Before becoming a senator, I spent years working with families through nonprofit work.
I’ve seen how quickly a family can go from doing fine to needing help.
That’s something I bring with me when we’re making decisions about schools, childcare and family budgets.
I’m tired of hearing that Utah is one of the best states for business while families struggle to afford living here.
We can support businesses without putting their interests ahead of the people who live here.
What’s something Utah schools expect parents or teachers to handle that the system should be doing better?

What’s a decision made by Utah lawmakers that you think would have been different if they had to live with the consequences themselves?
If a developer stands to make millions from a project, taxpayers shouldn’t be left paying for the roads and infrastructure needed to support it.
That’s not responsible growth.
I don’t think legislators should be able to dismiss concerns about a law just because they voted for it.
If the law isn’t working the way we intended, we should be willing to fix it.
Even if that means admitting we got it wrong.
If a data center needs massive tax breaks and special treatment to come to Utah, I think we should be asking what residents are actually getting in return.
Especially when we’re talking about water, electricity and infrastructure.
What’s a Utah law that should be repealed instead of amended again?
And why is it still on the books?
Have you ever spoken at a city council meeting or legislative hearing and felt like the decision had already been made?
What happened?
Amendment B would make it harder for Utah voters to pass citizen-led initiatives, even when a clear majority supports them.
Utah’s initiative process is already difficult. Here’s what voters need to know before November 3. 🧵
Here’s the double standard:
The Legislature doesn’t need a 60% supermajority to enact state tax changes.
But Amendment B would require voters to reach that threshold for certain citizen-led initiatives.
Why should voters face a higher standard than their own Legislature?
I have a problem with people making decisions about housing developments when they stand to personally profit from those same developments.
That conflict shouldn’t be ignored just because someone holds public office.
