On Education:
No one-size-fits-all program; let parents choose
Every child deserves a high quality education. Each student is different and there should never be a one-size-fits-all program for our kids. I will advocate for changes to how we measure schools, improve ways to track student growth,
incentivize high-performing teachers, and focus on policies that bring in more quality teachers to fill the teacher shortage.
I will continue to support the rights of parents to choose the best education for their child, whether they attend a school in a school district, charter school, private school, online school or homeschool.
The federal government should not be involved in education decisions in Utah, and I oppose any efforts to usurp local control.

On Government Reform:
Need strong planning for Utah's tremendous growth
Utah is experiencing tremendous growth in many areas of our state, which brings with it concerns over housing affordability, infrastructure for water and transportation, and air quality. As Governor, I will restore a strong planning component as one of
the key functions of the Governor's office. We will coordinate with legislators, local leaders, & our metropolitan planning organizations to ensure that we are promoting smart growth that balances the character of our communities with new opportunities.
I will work towards comprehensive local, regional, and state government coordination.I firmly believe that government leaders need to take more seriously their charge to use tax dollars in a responsible way. On the county council I come prepared
with ideas on how to cut wasteful spending and to better utilize dollars to make long-term impact and investment for the state's second largest budget. As Governor, I will bring that same diligence and fiscal conservatism to the state budget.
