A Note From Skyler
"My family and I love Utah County. From the beautiful Sunflower Fields in Santaquin to Football Saturdays at Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo (Go Cougs!), to the family fun Splash Pad Days at Cory Wride Park in Eagle Mountain, to the Poppy Fields in Alpine, to the Rodeo in Spanish Fork and walks along the Jordan River Trail in Lehi, there's something for everyone. Living in such a wonderful place fills me with gratitude, and I feel a stewardship toward serving our community and giving back. I'm proud of our "Utah County Bubble" where conservative values and policies work."
On The Issues
Transportation Infrastructure
Our County is the heart of Utah. With our properous position comes growth and it’s important that we protect current residents and their families while welcoming new community members through common sense development. We need a Commissioner willing to fight for transportation needs and funding for our area to ensure a high quality of life.
Cut Spending & Balance The Budget
Everyday people and businesses need to continually reevaluate their budgets and spending but government doesn’t, that needs to change. Taxpayer funds must be spent prudently and for services under the proper scope of government. We need to ensure our services are funded and available to our residents while always looking for opportunities to create efficiencies and cut unnecessary spending.
Public Safety
As a father of two young boys, safety is of the utmost importance to our community and it’s future. A collaborative relationship with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and Utah County Attorney’s Office is paramount to the office of Commissioner. We must keep Utah County safe.
Defend Liberty
Nothing else matters if we aren’t a free people. Every action taken by the Commission must have the interest of liberty first. I will always vigorusly defend life, free speech, property rights, the right to bear arms and medical freedom. The Constitution is not negotiable.
Election Integrity
Utah County must be at the forefront of free, fair, and accurate elections. It’s imperative that voters and the general public have trust and support our elections through transparent and open processes and procedures.
