I am running for re-election because their is extremely important work I have started that needs to be finished. 

First, the schoold district split will require important follow-up to ensure that the west side can be treated fairly and equally with the east side.  Our children and grandchildrens’ educational future is at stake.  The transition teams for both sides need Legislators with the knowledge, experience and understanding of the issue to be there to finsh the school district split.  I have been in the middle of this issue for the last three session and have a clear understanding of what needs to be done and what needs to be watched for.  With your support we will complete the school district split in a fair and equitable way.

Second, the healthcare issue has finally taken a step forward after several years of negotiation and work.  We are closer to finding a way to help make health insurance available and affordable to Utahn’s that need it the most, -the uninsured and underinsured.  I am the Legislator that has worked on this for the past 5 years.  I need your support to continue to move this forward.

Thirdly, the Mountain View Corridor is moving forward, along with light rail after years of preparation and study.  We need Legislators that understand where the funding for this transportation project can be found and how to move it forward.  I have that understanding and experience.  Billions of dollars will be needed for our future transportation needs and I am committed to seeing that we manage every tax dollar we receive in the most efficient and effective way as we prepare for the roads of the future.
