1. What do you think are some of the biggest issues facing Salt Lake County currently?
2.
Do you support continuing efforts to repeal the law allowing
signatures? Would you fight for caucus only or would you accept the
current system as is?
3. How will you support local cities? In what ways could communication between cities and the county be improved?
4.
What should be done with Unified Police and Fire? Should that continue
to be on the county level or should that be disbanded in favor of more
local institutions?

2. Yes. I have been heavily involved in fighting against 2014 SB 54. I was one of just a few that spoke in the committee against it. I was not in the legislature in 2014, but in 2015 I ran a bill to put it on hold.

I was part of a group that was fighting count my vote the first time and again the 2nd time. I also wrote 3 op-eds on this.
3.
I was the only person that was a candidate and there were no county
council members that even came to the recent town hall meetings at the
metro Copperton and Kearns. Not only does there need to be better
listening with more public town halls, we need better communication to
the cities and towns by going to them.
4. I was not a fan
of United Police and Fire. If I could have it go away, I would. It may
not be possible with the current situation. I will look further.
