FAMILY VALUES

The importance of family cannot be overstated. The breakdown of the family has contributed to nearly every social crisis facing our country today--resulting in incalculable costs to lives, society and government. If you elect me, I will vote to protect the Utah County values we hold dear. I will support policies that strengthen our families and provide incentives that encourage individual responsibility.

First, I have been a strident advocate for the freedom of religion and the protection of religion from those who seek to weaponize our government against that freedom. Last year I ran and passed a bill that protected religious expression in the workplace.

Second, my work against pornography (requiring warning labels on pornographic content in Utah) has been featured by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation as innovative legislation. Not only that, last year Senator Kennedy and I passed one of the first bills in the country to outlaw AI-generated pornography depicting children. See Sexual Exploitation of a Minor Amendments
