Issue Position: Economic Development

Issue Position

Over the last decade, our state has experienced significant economic growth, but much of this growth has been concentrated along the Wasatch Front. I want to make sure our community and Northern Utah as a whole, receives the attention it deserves.

Growth is inevitable because Utah is an amazing place to live, work, and raise a family. As Utah grows, Northern Utah leaders must encourage the development of high paying and high-tech jobs. The recent addition of aerospace and defense contractor Northrop Grumman's new facility is a fantastic example of what a company with high paying career jobs can do for our community. Families that choose to call Northern Utah home shouldn't have to commute to the Wasatch Front to find high paying jobs or be forced to settle for less.

As your legislator, it will be my top priority to look for the right kind of economic development for Northern Utah. I want our children to have the option to stay here and succeed both financially and professionally.
