In the candidate's own words

According to his website, as cited by the Tribune, John Taylor is a veteran who has worked in business lobbying and the pharmaceuticals industry. [1]

In the survey, Taylor says to "follow the money," cites a top-secret security clearance held for 10 years, and blames government spending, including the national debt, for rising prices. Taylor proposes "Truth in 3Ps" legislation that would require large public-private projects, such as a proposed data center, to be presented to the affected community for feedback. Taylor supports both Amendment A and Amendment B. [1]

These are the candidate's own survey answers as printed by the Tribune, not checked by The Utah Ledger. [1]
