Family
I believe that the traditional family is the core unit of our society. While I recognize that many in our community function as single parents, or have other challenges, statistics show that children thrive and become better functioning adults when raised with a father and a mother. I will do all I can to pass and support legislation that protects the traditional family from government encroachment. I will fight for what is right against any government agency that uses its power inappropriately or illegally to interfere with the rights of the family. The well-being of our families is affected by many of the issues facing Utah County, specifically education, transportation and jobs.
