Legislative District 6 Questionaire Response
1) Do you have a good relationship with the Lt. Governor's office? If so, why? If not, what will you do to ensure that you develop a good relationship?
I am not currently in a position which would require me to contact the Lt. Governor's office. As party chairman, I intend to have good relations with our elected officials.
2) When was the last time you've read the following documents:
a. Declaration of Independence
b. US Constitution
c. Utah State Constitution
d. Republican Party Constitution
e. Republican Party Platform
I read the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution periodically, though I have not done so for a few years. I've only read the Utah State Constitution, Republican Party Constitution, and Republican Party Platform on an as-needed basis.
3) For any of the documents in question 2 that you have not read, will you commit to reading them before taking office?
The chairman takes over immediately upon election on Saturday. Though I cannot read them by that time, I will of necessity.
4) Do you believe in God? Should a belief in God have any impact on Governmental philosophy? (Note I am not asking if you belong to a specific church, or any church at all—that's not the point of this question.)
Yes, of course. It is impossible for belief in God not to have an impact on Governmental philosophy. There are broad Judeo-Christian ethics that form the agreed-upon basis of American society.
5) If elected, what will be your first one or two priorities to address?
The first priority would be to get the fundamentals of party infrastructure in place. A new executive director, direction and work for the staff, ramp up the fundraising machine to ensure financial stability. Second would be candidate recruitment and policy meetings regarding the current issues most pressing upon the minds of the public.
Thanks for the opportunity to express a few of my views.
