Where they stand
Local control vs. state mandates
Opposes legislation that takes land-use decisions out of the hands of locally elected officials.
Growth and development
Advocates infrastructure before density; 14,000 homes already entitled in Herriman; roads, schools, and utilities should be funded and ready before new developments approved.
Infrastructure and traffic
Supports transportation funding that reflects actual growth; developers, not taxpayers, should fund infrastructure their projects demand.
Education and schools
Pushes for school capacity to be part of every development approval; fights for state funding formulas that keep up with actual enrollment growth.
Fiscal conservatism
Believes taxpayers should not be left holding the bill for infrastructure that developers should have funded.
