Frequently Asked Questions
I believe our current political landscape is disconnected from the daily realities of Iron County families. I’m not a businessman or a career politician—I’m a neighbor who wants to ensure that our local government works for the people who live here, not for outside corporate interests. My lack of "political" experience is exactly why I’m running; I bring a fresh, community-focused perspective that prioritizes residents over political scripts.
I am opposed to this project and similar industrial developments that disregard the health of our local environment and infrastructure. My opposition is based on a review of the facts, the lack of transparency in the approval process, and the clear message from our community that this project does not benefit our county. As Commissioner, I will demand full statistical clarity and public transparency on all future industrial proposals.
I believe in honest, constructive dialogue. While I may not always agree with my fellow Commissioners, I will always commit to public discourse. My goal is to bring issues out from behind closed doors and into the public eye so that you, the voter, can see where decisions are being made and why. I am willing to work with anyone who puts the long-term well-being of Iron County residents first.
Yes. By law, counties in Utah act as the Local Mental Health Authority. This means the County Commission is responsible for overseeing and funding the behavioral health safety net for all our residents. My professional experience in residential treatment gives me the specific knowledge needed to ensure we are managing these vital resources effectively and compassionately.
No. I am pro-responsible growth. Expansion is inevitable, but how we grow is a choice. I advocate for "smart growth"—focusing on renovating vacant settlements and utilizing existing infrastructure rather than sprawling into our agricultural and natural lands. I want to keep Iron County a vibrant, sustainable home for our families, not a clone of the "big city" models we’ve seen elsewhere.
