Issues facing Utah
Below is a brief synopsis of several issues,
about which Brad is passionate. For an expanded discussion of
these issues, please click on the link associated with that
specific issue.
Cottage meetings are being scheduled to meet with as many
voters as possible to answer their questions, address additional
issues or discuss these issues at greater length. For a list
of those meetings, please check back here, often. Also, please
feel free to contact Brad with
any questions or concerns.
Family
Values: Family values are at the very core of our society.
All governments and all laws should show profound respect for
family values.
Education:
Education is the biggest part of the Utah State budget. Parental
involvement is the key to a successful education program.
Transportation:
Utah is way behind on building and maintaining roads. We need
to emphasize responsible transportation funding.
Technology
and Economic Development: A robust economy benefits everyone
and technology is a big part of growing our economy.
Alternative
Energy: We should explore the use of other sources of energy
such as nuclear power, tar sands, shale oil, and bio-diesel.
Private
Property Rights: Government should not be allowed to use
eminent domain for economic development.
Illegal
Immigration: The federal government needs to control our
borders and the state government should make its own citizens
its top priority.
Health
Care: Introducing market forces into health care will help
bring spiraling costs under control.
Gun
Ownership: I stand in firm support of an individual' s right
to keep and bear arms.
Judicial
Activism and Other Federal Intrusions: I stand in firm opposition
to judges who legislate from the bench.
Integrity:
One of the most important qualities of an effective legislator
is to be trusted by constituents and fellow legislators.
Responsiveness:
If you ask me a question, I will do my best to respond in a
forthright, honest and timely manner.
