About Alex
Alex is a lifelong resident of Utah and couldn't think of a better place to call home. He has always had a deep interest in government and politics as well as an appreciation for the dedication it takes to find bipartisan solutions to complicated issues. The last several years have been increasingly disheartening as more and more politicians embrace divisive rhetoric and political theater instead of putting in the hard work to solve problems for the people they represent.
Alex believes there is still hope to bring civility back into politics and work together in tackling issues big and small. Politics doesn't have to be like this; it is time for a new way. Alex is proud to run as a member of the United Utah Party. Find out more about Utah's most involved third party at unitedutah.org.
Education
Invest in local public education
Support competitive pay and resources for educators
Expand Pre-K financial assistance
Investing in our children’s education is investing in our future. As the stewards of that collective future, educators deserve competitive pay and better resources. By committing to maintaining consistent communication between himself and teachers, school administrators, PTA, and school board members, Alex will ensure our district’s educational needs are well represented.
Electoral Reform
End partisan gerrymandering
Expand pilot programs for Ranked Choice and Approval voting
Increase transparency and accountability
By adopting a more representative voting system, voter choice increases and voters can make their voices heard without feeling like they’re throwing away their votes. Currently, legislators get to pick their voters with virtually no accountability or oversight. Our voting system is a problem, but there are solutions.
Environmental Stewardship
Fight pollution and improve air quality
Support efforts to clean and beautify Utah Lake
Promote and protect local outdoor recreation sites
One of the best parts of Utah is the stunning nature found throughout the state. Alex believes we can do better in preserving and promoting our state’s incredible natural beauty. Investing in cleaning up and maintaining Utah Lake as well as other natural environments across the state will create jobs and secure that beauty for generations to come.
Empower Individuals & Families
Improve parental leave, family leave, and sick leave
Increase access to affordable childcare
Remove roadblocks to quality medical care
Fight for affordable housing
As costs continue to rise, the Legislature has a role to play in making sure Utahns aren’t left behind. Alex is committed to advocating for policies that give Utahns the flexibility they need to manage planned and unplanned life events. Government is at its best when it empowers, not restricts, those it serves.
