UTAH’S IMPORTANT ISSUES

aND nEW iDEAS TO SOLVE tHEM!

My daughters are the reasons I’m running for the Utah House of Representatives—because I know that they deserve Better Schools, Cleaner Air, and Stronger Families around them. And you deserve those things too! The Utah Legislature has a constitutional responsibility to make Better Schools, Cleaner Air, and Stronger Families realities in Utah. But for the last dozen years, I’ve seen them ignore these real problems to focus on extreme fringe issues. Sadly, our incumbent representative—my opponent—is part of the problem. His big bill this last legislative session was about vanity license plates. I think we have more important things to deal with—issues will impact our kids’ and grandkids’ lives.

MOST PRESSING ISSUES

Addressing IssuesStronger Families

Liveable Wages

Utah’s current minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. There is no way anyone can support themselves—let alone a family—on such a pittance! This low rate has not been raised since 2009, but the cost of living has gone up—inflation, tuition, and housing costs have all increased. And our Utah legislature has done absolutely nothing to help the hardworking families in our state, despite the experiences of states and cities across the country proving that gradual minimum wage increases don’t cost jobs.

Water Conservation

To conserve water, it's time to take action to ensure that our children continue to have enough water. By showing the true cost behind water property taxes, incentivizing farmers to grow crops that require less water, and expanding native plant landscaping, we can make Utah a better place.

Clean Air

Clean electric vehicles are a core solution to our air problem. Roughly half of Utah County’s air pollution comes from the exhaust of gas-powered vehicles. Globally, such vehicles are an enormous contributor to the climate change that’s superpowering wildfires across the West. Car companies have seen the writing on the wall and are already beginning the transition to electric vehicles.

Election Integrity

In our recent municipal election, I gave my daughter my “I voted” sticker to wear. I’m looking forward to the day, sixteen years from now, when she’ll earn one of her own. To make sure we can all enjoy that proud, patriotic parent moment, I am running for the Utah House today. A vote for Daniel Craig Friend is a vote for secure and inclusive elections.

Sex Education

I know that if we teach our kids correct principles—including in the classroom—they will govern themselves better than we might expect. A vote for Daniel Craig Friend is a vote to trust our kids.
