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've known Lt. Governor Herbert for at least 15 years. We have a good relationship.
2) When was the last time you've read the following documents:
a. Declaration of Independence
Within the last few months.
b. US Constitution
Within the last year.
c. Utah State Constitution
I've read parts of it in the last few months.
d. Republican Party Constitution
I was on the State Constitution & Bylaws Committee from 2003 - 2005 and was the author of several minor changes. I've reviewed it again in the last few weeks.
e. Republican Party Platform
I've read it several times since I submitted my name for Party Chair.
3) For any of the documents in question 2 that you have not read, will you commit to reading them before taking office?
I'll commit to reread them within the next 30 days.
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.)
Our Party platform begins "We, the Republican Party of the Great State of Utah, affirm our belief in God and declare our support for government based upon a moral and spiritual foundation". I agree.
5) If elected, what will be your first one or two priorities to address?
Focus on getting Republicans elected in November 2008 through organizing well at the state, county and precinct levels.
Immediately begin fundraising by approaching those I've raised funds from in the past and putting together a well financed and properly managed state party operation utilizing a variety of fundraising programs.
