Economic Growth
If the economy is strong, we will have good paying jobs and pay less income and sales tax. I am dedicated to supporting a strong economic development strategy by our legislature.
I will avoid excessive government regulation that can strangle business and stifle job creation. I will promote Utah’s high-educated workforce and quality of life to attract high-paying jobs.
