Tax Policy

Responsible Stewardship of Your Tax Dollars: Utah's remarkable economy has been built on decades of responsible financial management, limited government, and conservative policies that have allowed families and small businesses to succeed. As your Representative, I’m committed to keeping taxes low, our budget balanced, and government living within its means. 

Simplifying the Tax Code: Taxes should be easier to understand and less costly to file. I'll continue advocating for a simpler tax code that helps individuals and businesses understand their obligations, reduces the time and expense of tax preparation, and lightens the burden on all taxpayers, especially families. 

Keeping Taxes Low for Families and Small Businesses: I support continued tax relief for working families and for the small businesses that drive our economy. Targeted relief helps local entrepreneurs grow, create jobs, and strengthen our communities. I was also proud to vote for an expansion of Utah's child tax credit in 2025, helping families manage the real costs of raising children. (For more on my work to lower the state income tax and support job creators, see my Economy page.)

Living Within Our Means: As our state continues to grow, we must remain disciplined stewards of taxpayer dollars. Fiscal discipline is how we preserve opportunity for the next generation of families. I am committed to:

• Reducing state debt to protect our long-term financial health and stability.

• Investing in core services that matter most, while spending carefully and responsibly.

Empowering Local Communities: Communities know their own needs best. I support giving local governments appropriate autonomy in setting and managing local taxes, so they can craft solutions tailored to the people they serve rather than relying on one-size-fits-all mandates.

My Record. I don't just talk about lower taxes; I've voted to cut them.

• HB 106 (2025) – I voted to reduce Utah's individual and corporate income tax rate from 4.55% to 4.50%. This bill also expanded the child tax credit and created a new employer child care tax credit to help working families.

• SB 60 (2026) – I voted to further reduce the income tax rate from 4.50% to 4.45%—Utah's sixth consecutive annual income tax cut.

Looking Ahead: By keeping taxes low, regulations reasonable, and budgets balanced, we can protect the opportunity and prosperity that make Utah a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
