Candidate for Congress | Utah's 4th District

Legislative Agenda:

Congressional Integirty & Governance Amendment

Our system of government was never meant to be controlled by a permanent political class. The Founders envisioned a republic led by citizen legislators who would serve their country for a time and then return home to their communities.

Today, however, Congress has drifted far from that principle. Too many representatives spend decades in Washington, becoming increasingly disconnected from the people they were elected to represent.

To begin restoring accountability and integrity to our federal government, I support introducing the Congressional Integrity & Governance Amendment. This proposal would establish term limits for members of Congress, set reasonable limits on total time served in the House and Senate, require representatives to live in the districts they represent, and reinforce the principle that those who serve in federal office must hold clear and undivided loyalty to the United States.

This proposal is not perfect, and it is not intended to solve every problem overnight. But it is a meaningful first step toward restoring the principle of a citizen legislature and bringing Congress closer to the people it was created to serve.

Defending the Republic means ensuring that government remains accountable to the people, not entrenched in the hands of career politicians.

The Responsible Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure and Water Protection Act

Artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding across the United States, but the infrastructure powering it must not come at the expense of America’s water supply. The Responsible Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure and Water Protection Act ensures that the growth of hyperscale computing and AI data centers does not place unsustainable demands on municipal water systems, particularly in drought-prone regions of the country.

This legislation establishes national standards for how large AI and data center facilities consume water and manage their environmental impact. It prohibits hyperscale AI facilities from using municipal drinking water for cooling, requires advanced non-water or closed-loop cooling technologies, and sets strict limits on water use relative to computing capacity. Facilities must also achieve water neutrality, ensuring that any water used is reclaimed or restored back into the watershed.

The Act also introduces federal environmental review for major AI infrastructure projects, prevents the expansion of water-intensive facilities in high-stress drought regions, and creates transparency requirements so the public can see how much water and energy these massive computing campuses consume.

By encouraging efficient computing technologies and responsible infrastructure design, the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure and Water Protection Act protects America’s communities, safeguards vital water resources, and ensures technological innovation proceeds in a way that respects the environmental limits of the nation.

The Port Security Drug Interdiction Technology Act

For too long, our border security conversation has ignored a simple reality: a large portion of illegal narcotics enter the United States through legal ports of entry hidden in commercial cargo and vehicles. While Washington debates slogans, the technology used to inspect freight at many crossings is outdated and overwhelmed.

The Port Security Drug Interdiction Technology Act (PSDITA) focuses on a practical solution. This legislation would modernize inspection systems at major ports of entry by deploying next-generation cargo scanners, advanced imaging systems, and AI-assisted detection tools capable of identifying concealed narcotics in freight and passenger vehicles.

By investing in modern inspection infrastructure and targeting enforcement where drugs are most commonly smuggled, this act strengthens border security without disrupting lawful trade or travel.

Stopping narcotics before they reach American communities begins at the ports where they enter. PSDITA brings our inspection systems into the modern era so law enforcement has the tools necessary to do that job effectively.

The American Family Digital Protection & Online Accountability Act

The digital world has changed dramatically over the last two decades, yet many of the safeguards that exist in the physical world have not kept pace online. As your next Congressman for Utah’s 4th District, I will work to introduce legislation I call the American Family Digital Protection and Online Accountability Act.

This legislation focuses on protecting children, restoring parental authority, and bringing accountability to an industry that currently operates with little oversight in the digital marketplace. The bill would require real age verification for explicit websites, strengthen parental control tools through internet service providers, and establish clear licensing and compliance standards for commercial distributors operating across state lines.

It would also ensure that financial institutions and payment processors cannot facilitate illegal exploitation, while strengthening enforcement of existing federal laws surrounding obscenity and human trafficking.

Most importantly, this proposal is designed to respect the First Amendment and constitutional protections, while addressing a real and growing concern facing American families in the digital age.

Washington has ignored this issue for far too long. My goal is simple: protect children, empower families, and bring accountability to the digital marketplace.

The State Anti-Trafficking Empowerment Act

Human trafficking is one of the most horrific crimes occurring in our country today, and far too often the first people to uncover it are local law enforcement officers and state investigators. Yet many of these agencies lack the resources and coordination necessary to dismantle the criminal networks responsible.

The State Anti-Trafficking Empowerment Act strengthens the fight against human trafficking by empowering state and local task forces to lead enforcement efforts while improving coordination between states. The legislation reforms existing Department of Justice grant programs so funding prioritizes state-led anti-trafficking units, multi-state investigative teams, and victim support services.

Rather than expanding federal bureaucracy, this approach supports the agencies closest to the problem. States retain primary authority over criminal enforcement, while the federal government provides the resources and coordination necessary to pursue trafficking organizations that operate across state lines.

By strengthening state-led operations and improving interstate cooperation, this legislation helps ensure traffickers are found, prosecuted, and removed from our communities while victims receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Equal Representation and Modern Aportionment Act

For more than a century, the House of Representatives has been capped at 435 members while America’s population has grown from roughly 90 million people to more than 330 million. As a result, the average congressional district now represents over 750,000 Americans, making meaningful representation increasingly difficult.

The Equal Representation and Modern Apportionment Act will repeal the outdated cap on the House of Representatives and modernize the way congressional districts are apportioned. Under this legislation, congressional districts would be limited to roughly 500,000 residents, ensuring that representation grows alongside the population of the United States.

This reform would expand the House to approximately 710 members, restoring the original intent of the Founders that the House remain the legislative body closest to the people.

By strengthening proportional representation and reducing the size of congressional districts, this legislation helps ensure that every American has a stronger voice in Washington.

A Congress that grows with the American people.

Interstate Predator Tracking Modernization Act

The Interstate Predator Tracking Modernization Act strengthens public safety by closing the dangerous gaps that exist when convicted sexual predators move across state lines. Today, many state registry systems operate independently, often relying on delayed updates or manual reporting between jurisdictions. This can allow offenders to slip through the cracks simply by relocating to another state.

This legislation would modernize interstate coordination by creating a secure federal portal that connects existing state registries and provides real-time alerts to law enforcement when a registered offender relocates across state lines. The system would give states immediate notification and the tools needed to track interstate movement more effectively.

Importantly, this proposal preserves the constitutional balance of power. States retain full authority over enforcement, supervision, and prosecution under the Tenth Amendment. The federal government’s role is limited to providing the technological infrastructure necessary to help states coordinate and share critical information.

By modernizing offender tracking while respecting state authority, the Interstate Predator Tracking Modernization Act helps ensure that dangerous predators cannot evade oversight simply by crossing a border.
