On affordability he says he has seen patients choose between medication and necessities and would prioritize health care affordability by breaking up big medicine, protecting patients' choice of provider and reducing prescription drug costs. [1]
On water he supports better measuring of water impacts from data centers and large developments, the Colorado River Abundance Act and HB410, and says the "use it or lose it" water policy should be reconsidered. He also names better lawmaker decorum and compromise as priorities, and answered Against on both Constitutional Amendment A and Amendment B. Two other candidates on the ballot, Jonathan Garrard and Sara Snow, did not respond to the questionnaire. [1]
