Here is where I stand on the Issues
This page lays out where I stand on the issues that matter most to our community—from affordability, education, and healthcare to civil liberties, the environment, and good governance. It’s a clear, plain-language look at my policy positions, the values that guide them, and how I think about solving real problems with an eye toward dignity, accountability, and the long term.
Democracy should not require guessing. You deserve to know not only what I believe, but how I arrived there, what values guide me, how those beliefs translate into policy, and what I would actually do with the responsibility of public office. Not in slogans. Not in carefully workshopped sound bites. In plain language, with enough context for you to make up your own mind.
I originally created this section for delegates preparing for the Democratic convention because I believed they deserved more than slogans and workshopped sound bites. Since then, voters have told me they appreciate being able to see exactly where I stand, how I arrived there, and what values guide my decisions. I have now reorganized these positions into individual posts so they are easier to explore, share, and update. As someone who believes deeply in nuance and detail, I want to explain not only what is broken, but how it became broken, who it affects, who benefits from the status quo, and what it will actually take to fix it.
Some people have warned me that publishing this much detail gives my opponent more material to take out of context and weaponize. I accept that risk because I stand behind what I say. These positions come from decades of writing, advocacy, policy work, and studying how government and institutions operate. They are rooted in what I call horizontal morality— our responsibility to one another as neighbors and human beings— and in a vision for Utah where people of every religious, spiritual, cultural, and community background have a place. You may not agree with every position here, but you will never have to guess where I stand.
If you’ve made it all the way down here, thank you. Truly. That tells me something important about you— that you care enough about the future of our community and our state to engage deeply, not just skim headlines, slogans, or political theater.
What you’ve read here is not meant to be a document carved in stone. It is a living framework. I will keep building it out as I continue listening to Utahns, learning from experts, refining policy, and responding to the real challenges and opportunities in front of us. Good governance is not static. It grows through evidence, experience, accountability, and dialogue.
At the heart of all of this is a belief that our strength comes from infinite diversity in infinite combinations— from people with different backgrounds, beliefs, talents, identities, and life experiences choosing to build something better together. I do not believe the future should belong to insiders, gatekeepers, or the people with the loudest megaphones. I believe it should belong to all of us.
If this vision resonates with you, I hope you’ll be part of it.
