District 17
for Transparency and Truth
I am going to lower taxes through the elimination of duplicate services being paid for by tax dollars.
I will help support parents and teachers by making the data more transparent. We can't get to the root of the issues without accurate and full data.
This is the same direction I will take for housing affordability. Bad data leads to bad decisions. I have looked at partial data showing occupancy levels are lower than anticipated because more stack 'em and pack 'em high density housing is not affordable and isn't what Utahns want.
Mandates should never have been passed.
Transparent data is where we start.

The messaging that we've just been given the biggest tax cut in history doesn't tell the whole story. We've gone from being the 15th highest taxed state to the 11th.
We keep asking teachersto do more outside their scope. Is this fair or sustainable?
1500 bills will be presented at the Utah 2024 Legislative Session. Do they all get read, presented transparently, or horse traded?
A Constitutional Republic agrees that certain unalienable rights cannot be legislated away. Throughout history, we see the downfall of nations begin when self-defense weapons are taken away from citizens. These are also tools that can equalize the force of a victim against a perpetrator. They shall not be infringed.
The Caucus/Convention system was designed specifically to hold elected officers accountable.
Every even year, people organized by precincts get elected by their neighbors as delegates. These delegates are either assigned to vet candidates for county races or state races. They're given opportunities to attend events, get phone calls directly from candidates, ask questions, and evaluate how candidates stack up to the Republican Party Platform. Then, at their respective convention (county or state), they cast the vote their votes. Candidates have to win 40% to go to a primary, or if a candidate wins 60%, their name goes on the general election ballot. In Davis County, if a candidate chooses to pay their way to the primary ballot (using the signature path), their non-signature gathering opponent only needs to get the majority vote.
The signature path circumvents the delegates and disregards the results from convention. It has been coined the incumbent protection act for a reason.
I did not collect signatures and welcome accountability. Accountability is not a dirty word.
Utah's Grassroots report is the easiest way to get to summaries on historical votes. https://www.utahgrassroots.org/
So much work goes into these post General Session
The State of Utah maintains it's records of bills and resolutions HERE. Knowing the bill number is helpful, but the year is imperative. For instance, this years SB54 is not the same bill as SB54 from 2014. Click "status" on the banner at the top, then the number of votes are linked on the far right column. The fiscal notes are attached, as well.

This is where Jen discovered the importance of conservative principles. She has owned a business, completed grants successfully that were behind schedule (while returning leftover funds), and currently teaches Financial Literacy while meeting with students one on one to understand the impact of 20 year student loans versus graduating with no debt.
Much of Jen's work has been focused on education and opportunity as a pathway to breaking intergenerational cycles of poverty, finding unique job opportunities for people with disabilities, and helping families overcome the harms of abuse and poverty.
Jen has three sons. They love camping, fishing, swimming, kayaking, road tripping, and the Constitution.
Jen is currently on the State Central Committee, representing Davis County. She has served as District 17 Vice Chair (yes, Stewart Barlow's District), Precinct Vice Chair, State and County Delegate. Every year, it get's more and more exciting as grassroots engage.
Running a campaign can be expensive. My opponent has lots of financial backing including the coffers of the Legislature. Any amount helps. Thank you!
