Hi, my name is Michael. I’m a grateful father, husband, native Utahn, social worker, and appreciator of the outdoors. I listen to people for a living, and I want to listen to you.

 

I’m running as an Unaffiliated candidate for Davis County Commission, the only remaining undecided County Office voters will have a say in this November’s general election. This means I’m not focused on partisanship or constrained by a party. To the contrary, I’m a big believer in the need for bipartisanship. I think many politicians rely too heavily on party affiliation to get votes. Likewise, often we as voters too quickly choose our leaders simply based on a label, while dismissing other quality candidates for the same reason. I’m building a coalition of people across the aisle. We are better when we work together, and weaker when we work against each other. I welcome all Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, those who are unaffiliated, of the United Utah Party, Forwards, No Labels, new voters, the politically curious, and any who are understandably discouraged with politics. As frustrating and polarizing as politics has become, your voice is important. Your place and contribution in our community is valuable and needed.
