Latest updates from the campaign:
Thank you for all your support!
I just wanted to thank everyone for the help and support during the legislative session. Thank you for all the comments, emails, returned surveys, phone calls and visits to the Capitol. It is truly an honor to represent District 33. I feel like we did some good work. We still have plenty of work to do, but we're heading in the right direction.
One of the areas where we made some decent improvement was our education system. Education was by far the highest priority in this General Session, with local schools, colleges and universities receiving over 70% of available new revenue, including capital facilities and economic development initiatives.
The legislature funded nearly $70.0 million in public education student enrollment growth and spent more than $45 million to increase public education’s base formula by two percent.
My priorities will continue to be: (1) a top-notch education system; (2) a strong economy; and (3) effective representation for West Valley at the State Capitol.
Here is an article from the Salt Lake Tribune that recognized my dedication to our West Valley schools. Thanks to the Tribune for the article. And thanks to all the District 33 constituents for your support!

Thank you!
To those within House District 33, thank you so much for your vote, support and trust. I am truly humbled to receive such support and commit to doing the best I can to represent our District well at the State Capitol. We have a lot of work to do and I look forward to helping make our community a greater place to live, work, and raise our families.
I would just like to thank all those who volunteered, donated to, or otherwise supported our campaign. Seriously, I could not have done it without all of your help. I can't express how much appreciation I feel for all our volunteers who believed so much in our campaign.
Thanks to my wife for all of her support and patience. Thanks to my kids (who have already started lobbying me for a three-day school week) for all their help. It was fun to have them as part of the campaign.
Thanks again for everything and I look forward to serving the residents of District 33. Feel free to contact me any time.

"AFSCME represents public employees throughout the State of Utah and is 1.6 million strong nationally.
"We believe you have a strong conviction to do the right thing - to step up to the plate and take care of issues. We need legislators that will tie the community together, to include the citizens, business and the employees. We believe you have what it takes to move us forward as a proud cooperative work force.
"We look forward to working with you and wish you the best of luck in your campaign."

I would like to thank Representative Neal Hendrickson for his many years of service. Since his initial election in 1990, Neal has served as the Representative for District 33.

Update on our fundraising efforts
We would like to give a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the campaign.
Over the last two weeks, we have received more donations from individuals (both in number of donations and in total dollars) than our 21-year incumbent democratic opponent has received from individuals over the last ten years combined.
The democrat incumbent still has more money than us. But it is significant that over 98% of his received donations are from corporations and/or PACs, rather than individuals who are actually pulling the money out of their own wallets.
Our campaign has amazing amounts of momentum right now. Let's keep it going!
