Issue Position: States Rights

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Constitution Federal, State and Local Relations

The framers of our Constitution intended for the majority of powers to be at the state level, not at the federal level. I strongly support the 10th Amendment. I am a strong proponent of local control, as the more close people are to decisions made, the better the decisions are. For example, I know that if Utah was allowed to manage public lands, we would do a far better job of utilizing these resources than the federal government.

There have been numerous state rights-type bills that have come through the Legislature each year, of which I have supported virtually all. As your Senator, I will continue fighting for states rights and local control.
