Public safety is the primary role of government. The people we represent must be ensured they are safe in the pursuit of life, liberty and property.
As an elected official, that is my focus and my goal. I ran for office knowing I had the necessary experience to innovate, and find solutions that could make government more accountable, transparent and fiscally responsible.
By and large, my experience with Salt Lake County-led organizations shows they provide less efficient and more expensive services than what a local municipality can offer. Additionally, they too often hold to a rigid, one-size-fits-all ideology, unwilling or unable to innovate.
