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.

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.
