  • To advocate with the State Legislature for effective and fair laws for the collection of taxes
  • To oversee the completion of a modernized tax system currently in development
  • To implement technologies in the office that will minimize potential error and increase efficiencies

Transparency

  • As the new County Treasurer, I commit to working efficiently and with openness. We need to have leaders that are principled, competent, innovative, and willing to ask new questions.

Security

  • With a strong background in IT combined with my Treasury abilities, I am the best suited candidate to oversee the Treasurer’s office of the future. Security and data are of critical importance as services move deeper into the digital age. Government institutions are frequently behind the times with technology and security. My unique cross-section of abilities will create security and promote confidence from citizens of Salt Lake County.
