Why Vote for J.
Affordability
J. will focus tax policies on outcomes that support affordability by maintaining tax rates that don’t over-burden families, while still providing the world-class services that attract both businesses and families to Utah County.
Transparency
J. will seek to move at least one commission meeting per month to 6:00pm to allow more people to participate in commission meetings. J. will also explore the possibility of holding one commission meeting per quarter in other locations in the county.
Accountability
As a commissioner, J. will remain accountable to the people of Utah County by responding to constituent messages and meeting with constituents in the commission office.
Why I’m Running
Utah County is a great place to live and I’m running to make sure that it’s a place where our children can afford to live in the future. I believe every person in the County deserves the full protection of the Constitution, regardless of their immigration status, gender, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
