SIGN UP TO JOIN BURGESS’ CAMPAIGN

Years ago, when I first met Tim Ballard, founder of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), my priority became making the fight the evils of human trafficking the largest platform possible. The benefit of running for Congress as a "political outsider" is having friends and mentors like Tim whose expertise means creating effectual legislation that will make an actual impact in the lives of Utahns. This has given me the ability to put together a plan over the past several months that is not superficial in nature and has an easy to read layout for my future constituents to understand. A plan that involves the community and local law enforcement, as oppose to the generic top down, "federal solutions” offered in the past by most politicians. With these criteria in mind, we have created a blueprint to make Utah a "Trafficking Free Zone" State. The 10 "Trafficking Free Zone" (TFZ) modules listed form a barrier that protect the innocent from would-be predators. Working in conjunction with the Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes’ Internet Crime Against Children Task Force (ICACTF), the TFZ modules will make Utah as a human trafficking-free zone a tangible reality.

Long-standing polices that advocated open borders and (recently) defunding the police have been a contributing factor to this evil that permeates our society. Empty bills that do not empower or educate the local community are just as harmful, since they act like a band-aid on an open wound that needs immediate medical attention.

I will continue to stand alongside patriotic citizens like Tim Ballard and enact policies and legislation that will protect the people I serve. I will also continue to speak out against ANY and ALL policies that aid in allowing trafficking to continue uninhibited. your budget by expanding the use of health saving accounts.  Encouraging competitive, market based approaches to the healthcare system allows people to choose what type of coverage they need at a price and at a plan that fits their lifestyle and health.
