On Education:
Ensure parental rights on education choices and curriculum
Ensure parental rights when it comes to education choices and curriculum in public schools. No more criminalizing parents who speak up at school board meetings.State colleges and universities should be bastions for free expression. They should
challenge students to expand their views and to broaden their comprehension of the world around them. Still, they are state establishments and, as such, should refuse to host drag shows, should ban the practice of requiring preferred pronouns on campus,
and should require U.S history and government classes. They should root out insurgent foreign ideology such as
Chinese influence, environmentalist and climate change dogma, and other unfounded and cultish creeds, including religious tenets, that require unnatural adherence.

On Energy & Oil:
Utah is already a leader in oil, gas, coal, and uranium
Utah has an abundance of mineral wealth. As our nation's energy demands increase, Utah should be poised to provide solutions. Utah is already a leader in oil, gas, coal, and uranium.
The only thing preventing us from having a much larger impact is the federal administrative state. Enough is enough! It is time lead, not follow.

On Government Reform:
Seen his best friends killed due to federal overreach
As someone who has seen his best friends killed as a consequence of federal overreach and control of our public lands, it surprises me that our state hasn't done more to control the resources & lands within our borders.At best, we’re the #1 federally
managed colony in the nation. Between the directors of the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service, two unelected administrative offices in Washington D.C. have more control over what happens on Utah land than the governor of our state.
None of the major policy decisions coming from Washington that impact Utah's lands suggest the existence of a good faith negotiating partner [seeking] to find consensus. As governor I would assert our coordination rights as a state on every federal land
policy change to ensure that every federal land management decision that hurts Utah is litigated to the full extent of the law. Like Wyoming, I would make sure we have a dedicated fund to ensure that every adverse federal decision is litigated.

On Government Reform:
Get real about bona fide attacks on our elections
When it comes to our elections, the best course to achieving trust in the system is to have systems that are trustworthy, including risk-limiting measures performed by independent third parties who have access to the necessary data to issue even very
limited assurance to the public. We need to drop the rhetoric surrounding elections and get real about the bona fide attacks that our elections are under. P.S.--Zuckerbucks and the PEW Charitable Foundation will never give us the solution.
