Immigration & Border
The candidate supports significant limits on federal immigration enforcement in Utah, proposing legislation to restrict ICE operations in sensitive locations and to prevent federal agents from wearing face coverings during operations; he has said the end goal should be to abolish ICE. His proposals emphasize protecting communities from aggressive federal enforcement and preserving access to worship, health care, and legal services without fear of immigration actions.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has voted against state-level restrictions on abortion and supported measures that relax reporting or verification requirements for exceptions, indicating support for abortion access with some regulatory limits. Membership in reproductive-rights advocacy networks aligns with a pro-access orientation. No explicit campaign pledge to codify unrestricted access was found in the cited sources.
Climate & Energy
Supports deployment of clean energy and grid-modernization technologies, has sponsored state legislation to incentivize grid-enhancing technologies and energy storage, and advocates for leveraging Utah’s solar and geothermal resources while opposing policies that prop up uneconomic coal. Emphasizes coordinating regionally to expand renewable transmission and attract federal clean-energy investment.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports a package of gun safety measures including banning assault weapons and large-capacity magazines and creating a waiting period for firearm purchases; frames these measures as steps to reduce mass shootings, suicides, and gun violence while acknowledging lawful gun ownership. Has introduced legislation (SB 130) to enact those changes in Utah.
