It has been the honor of my life to represent Northern Utah in Congress. Over the last three terms, I’ve worked to deliver real results while standing up for the values that make our state and country strong.
That means fighting Washington’s reckless spending and pushing for greater fiscal discipline. It means strengthening Hill Air Force Base, supporting our servicemen and women, and making sure Utah continues to play a vital role in our national defense. It means standing up to China, bringing critical industries and supply chains back to America, and protecting our economic and national security.
I’ve also worked to help Utah families and small businesses keep more of what they earn. We’ve delivered meaningful tax relief, expanded the adoption tax credit, restored the charitable deduction, and advanced policies that help businesses invest, hire, and grow.
As Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference and a member of the Ways and Means and Budget Committees, I’m proud to give Utah a strong voice in Washington.
There is still important work ahead. I’m running for another term to keep fighting for Northern Utah, advancing conservative solutions, and building a stronger future for the next generation.
