Four years ago I promised voters that while in office:

• I would work to add 400 much needed beds to the county jail without a tax increase.

• I would continue to add prosecutors to the County Attorney's office.

• I would continue to add deputies to the Sheriff's Office to investigate sex crimes perpetuated against our children.

• I would not accept gifts or gratuities from those who have business with the county government.

• I would limit my income and work exclusively to that of the Utah County Commission.

• I would maintain my philosophy of conservative government and fiscal responsibility ("Not one red cent!").

I am pleased to report that I have kept all my promises to my employers and clients - you, the electorate!

Since I've been in office I have:

• Kept Utah County as the most efficient and best run county in the state of Utah (see supporting documentation).

• Increased funding since 2003 for Utah County Law Enforcement by 85% without increasing taxes.

• Cut costs by 38% for mental health services at the Wellness Recovery Clinic, while improving patient services.

• Increased funding for aging services in Title XX and CDBG Federal Funds, without increasing taxes.

• Worked with State Legislators to pass bills that lower the cost of county government.

• Provided the County Attorney's Office with funding for 7 new prosecutors in the last six years.

Throughout the remainder of my term and if re-elected:

• Maintain public safety as the primary duty of county government and avoid raising property taxes.

• I will maintain my philosophy of conservative government and fiscal responsibility ("Not one red cent!").

• I will continue to add prosecutors to the County Attorney's office.

• I will maintain deputies in the Sheriff's Office to investigate sex crimes perpetuated against our children.

• I will work to complete the reconstruction of county roads and I-15 by the end of 2014.
