We need a government that listens. One that builds a nation instead of tearing it apart and demands accountability. As mayor of my hometown, that's exactly what I have done and it's what I will do as your Congressman. I hope to earn your vote. #utpol #birdforcongress

Running for Congress has been a truly humbling experience. I want to thank my wife, family, friends, and supporters for the countless hours spent on my behalf. I wish our nominee Mike Kennedy the very best and he can count on my support.

The Uinta Basin Railway project will be a huge economic driver and asset for the Third Congressional District and Utah as a whole. I am excited to hear the news that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case and will hopefully ease the burden of federal permitting moving forward. As the only candidate in this race with a background in energy and supply chains, I will continue to fight for this project and similar projects in the future. #BirdForCongress #UTPOL ksl.com/article/51051142/sup…

Last night I was honored to officiate in the grand opening of Roosevelt’s new Nature Park and fishing pond. Something that began a few years ago as an idea from one of our members of the Arts, Park and Rec Committee, became a reality last night after many hours of planning, hard work, collaboration and volunteerism. The hard work, dedication, and donations from staff, local businesses and volunteers was astounding! I’m humbled to live in such a generous community, that knows how to come together and accomplish great things. Thank you to all those that assisted in bringing this project to fruition, and thanks to everyone that came to participate in the festivities!

I am excited to have a new passport office coming to Utah. The federal government doesn’t do many things well, especially getting passports on time! This will be great to speed up a very bureaucratic process. state.gov/expanding-passport…

I know you have been bombarded by political ads with candidates who say they will change the world. But let's be honest. They will vote how party leadership tells them to vote and spend most of their time asking for money to fund their next campaign. I'm not running for money or status. I am running to represent you. I ask for your vote. #birdforcongress #utpol

We had a great weekend spending time with voters in San Juan and Dagget County. In San Juan, our campaign joined a candidate meet-and-greet in Blanding. We then shared a meal with residents at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Daggett County. #birdforcongress #oneofus

We had a great day at the State Convention. I look forward to working hard to earn your support and vote in the Republican Primary. Washington could use a dose of small-town values. It's time Washington heard from one of us. #Utpol #Birdforcongress #oneofus
