Air Pollution
As our population grows, so does our carbon footprint. With more vehicles, aircraft, industrial equipment, and homes in operation, we must proactively address the increasing levels of carbon emissions. Sustainable planning is essential to protect the air we breathe.
Construction
New construction projects should only move forward once the essential needs of the community are fully considered and met. Growth must serve the people first.
Community Engagement
Registered voters will soon have a greater voice in city decisions. A mobile voting app will allow residents to vote on local bills and see real-time results, making civic participation more transparent and accessible.
Managing Growth
Growth can be positive—but only when it’s balanced. Concentrating development in one area strains resources, impacts public health, and affects quality of life. Growth must be thoughtfully distributed across the city.
Peaceful Demonstration
We fully support the right to peaceful protest. However, demonstrations that block traffic or disrupt community peace will not be permitted in Lehi. Respect for public order is essential for all voices to be heard safely.

Ensuring Student Safety Through Peer Leadership
Every child deserves to feel secure at school, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that their child is protected while in our care. One effective strategy to enhance safety and student well-being is the introduction of a School Prefect Program.
School prefects are exemplary students who serve as trusted peer leaders. They support staff by acting as attentive, approachable, and responsible members of the student body.
Key advantages of implementing a prefect system include:
- Prompt response to bullying or concerning behavior
- Access to peer-level insights often not visible to adults
- Cultivation of student accountability and leadership
- Reduced pressure on faculty and staff
- Increased early detection of risks including suicide ideation, bullying, substance abuse, online threats, and more
- Better understanding of youth culture, language, and social dynamics
- Strengthened peer-to-peer support and communication
By empowering students to look out for one another, we create a more connected, responsive, and proactive school environment. Investing in this kind of student leadership is a vital step toward safeguarding our children and restoring the supportive structures they need to thrive.
WE must do better, to not rob our children of the remaining trust worthy person in their lives.

Departmental Budgets
Each city department will be expected to operate within its allocated budget. Requests for additional funding will not be entertained unless exceptional circumstances arise, ensuring responsible and sustainable fiscal management.
Intergovernmental Collaboration
Strong and respectful cooperation will be maintained across all levels of government—federal, state, district, and municipal—to ensure alignment and effective governance for the people of our city.
Flags on Public Property
Publicly funded entities may only display the following flags:
- The United States flag
- The Utah Historic flag
- The official City of Lehi flag
Exceptions will be considered only for approved departmental or school flags that comply with city standards and receive formal approval.
Personal Beliefs in Public Settings
While we honor individual rights to religion and personal beliefs, public spaces must remain neutral and inclusive. Government settings are not the appropriate venues for promoting personal ideologies.
Term Limits
Although term limits for legislators were deemed unconstitutional by Utah’s courts in 2003, the power ultimately lies with the people. As seen in other states and at the federal level, citizens can advocate for and implement limits on how long public officials serve.

Long-Term Solutions for Strengthening Law Enforcement in Lehi
Being prior Law Enforcement myself, there is nothing like pulling into a neighborhood and the hairs on the back of your neck stands. It takes less then a minute for a situation to turn south, and waiting on backup could mean life or death to an officer or a citizen.
I support increased strength and presence in our law enforcement—but the proposed $1.17 million budget allocation addresses only the symptoms of a deeper, long-term challenge.
Lehi’s central location within the state offers a unique advantage. It's ideally positioned for officers who may serve in multiple regions. To leverage this, I propose allocating $500,000 toward relocation incentives for law enforcement officers willing to move into our city.
At $10,000 per officer, combined with a no property tax incentive, we could attract at least 50 officers to reside in Lehi. This would result in a visible, consistent police presence in our neighborhoods—cruisers parked on our streets naturally deter criminal behavior and ensure faster response times.
This approach would not only address staffing shortages but could potentially reduce the need for annual multi-million dollar budget increases. It’s a long-term investment in community safety that pays for itself through crime reduction and enhanced efficiency.
Not only will the presence of Law Enforcement vehicles deter crime, it provides a sense of peace to those in the community and to officers responding to calls in the area. Backup is one door down instead of 5 minutes out; and officers and that community, establishes a relationship of trust.
Parks & City Property Management: A Path to Opportunity and Efficiency
I propose that we open city park and property maintenance contracts to public bidding. By doing so, we foster healthy competition, offer startup and small businesses a chance to participate in city projects, and create new pathways for economic growth within our community.
This approach offers multiple benefits:
- Cost savings for the city through competitive bids
- Greater flexibility to select from a diverse pool of vendors
- Accountability through performance-based annual contract renewals
- Local economic stimulation, as rotating vendors can boost small business growth and expand our local tax base
Rather than keeping all services in-house or with long-term incumbents, we can circulate opportunities, empowering residents and businesses to be part of Lehi’s development. This model transforms city spending into community investment.
Growth doesn’t have to be one-sided. The city can thrive while also giving back—offering opportunity, fostering innovation, and building a stronger local economy.
