Issue Position: Source & Energy Development

Issue Position

Utah is rich with natural resources which fuel our vibrant economy. The Utah Constitution provides specific provisions by which our natural resources help directly fund the education of our children. Utah needs to promote the development of our rich energy resources and infrastructure to meet increasing demands. Developing natural resources benefits our children and promotes national energy security which will fuel the economy. Utah needs to stand up against the continued efforts of Washington D.C. to limit development of our natural resources especially coal. I will advocate development of Utah's energy resources in an environmentally conscious manner.

I currently serve as the House chair of the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environmental Quality Appropriation Committee. I am very proud of my work on this committee and the legislature's commitment to ensure our natural resources remain a vibrant part of our Utah economy.
