ACCOMPLISHMENTS

UTAH STATE SENATE

In the Senate, I built a record that shows how I’ll lead in Congress: pro-worker, pro-housing, pro-democracy, and unafraid to take tough votes.

Housing & Poverty

Workers & Small Businesses

  • State Prevailing Wage Requirements

  • To-Go Beverage Service Amendments

  • Inmate Phone Provider Amendments

Healthcare & Family Freedom

  • Family Planning Services Amendments (expanded Medicaid coverage for contraception)

  • Resolution supporting changes to blood donation rules for gay men

Civil Rights & Dignity

  • Utah Antidiscrimination Act Amendments (CROWN Act)

  • Resolution honoring the history and contributions of Native American peoples of Utah

Clean Energy & Air Quality

Democracy & Justice

SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL

On the City Council, I focused on one of Utah’s biggest challenges—housing.

  • Led a historic $27 million housing fund to help working Utahns afford to live where they work.

  • Modernized zoning to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—a pro-housing, pro-neighborhood reform that helped increase supply without changing community character.

This was early, practical leadership to build more housing—before it was politically easy.

SERVING UTAH IN WASHINGTON

After the Legislature, I was asked by President Biden to serve at the Export-Import Bank of the United States. There, I worked on:

  • Global trade and commercial diplomacy

  • Investing in jobs and manufacturing in America

  • Building our industrial base to stay competitive with China and Russia

  • Bringing good-paying jobs back to America

That experience taught me how Washington really works—and how hard you have to fight to make it work for people.
