Greetings!
So much of traditional politics is trying to persuade you through the voice of others—through endorsements. I’ve tried to be different; instead, choosing to focus on making my own case for becoming Utah County Attorney through my own words and actions rather than using the words of others.
I have tried hard to get to know you and for you to get to know me. My daily Facebook Live videos, campaign materials, and cottage meetings have all sought to convey who I am. Politics often encourages less substance, rather than more. And I’ve tried to be different.
Why? It’s just who I am. Part of that desire to be different comes from standing on the square with my young family and watching Ukraine demonstrate real sacrifice for its independence. Part of it stems from the sound values and principles instilled from long days
working on the family farm in Loa, Utah.
Mostly I try to be different because our freedoms, our rights, and our society require that we change how we handle politics if we’re ever going to turn things around. And so, I’ve avoided shallow endorsements; choosing instead to put myself in front of you. Along the way, many Utah County residents have heard, seen, and felt the difference in my approach.
Having demonstrated that difference, I have now chosen to give a list of a few of the many who support my candidacy. They support me because, like me, each agrees that we need greater balance, vision, and perspective in the Utah County Attorney’s Office. But in the end, my greatest endorsement will be from the voters of Utah County.
And so to all of them, and to all of you, I say thank you. Whether you support me or not—thank you for participating in this process that is so critical to our future and our freedom. Now it's your turn.
Ballots must be postmarked by Monday, June 25th. Return your ballot and together we will create change in the Utah County Attorney's office. Thank you.
Sincerely,
