Issue Position: Taxes and the Economy

Issue Position

Utah's balanced budget law ensures that state government live within its means. However, that doesn't stop government from increasing "the pie" by raising taxes. As your representative I have opposed and will continue to oppose tax increases in all their various forms.

We cannot fix long term budget challenges through tax increases. You have my promise that I will continue to support a broad and low tax. I believe that a low tax gives individuals the ability to take control of their lives and allows business owners the ability to invest in their companies, pay their employees, and ultimately create new jobs. I will continue to support lower taxes thereby encouraging spending, saving, and investing -- all necessary for a healthy economy.
