Strong for Utah’s Future

Real-world experience. Strong conservative leadership.

Before public service, I spent decades in the private sector, learning what it takes to build, lead, and solve real problems. In the Legislature, I bring that same practical mindset to fight for freedom, fairness, and a stronger future for Utah.

About Mark

I am a die hard Utahn, a husband, father, and business professional who believes deeply in personal responsibility, limited government, and strong communities. I earned my degree in communications from Brigham Young University and have spent decades working in the private sector, where I learned firsthand the value of hard work, accountability, and common-sense problem solving. Growing up in a military family shaped my respect for service and freedom, and that background continues to guide my approach to public service. I ran for the Utah House of Representatives to bring real-world experience to the Legislature and to be a strong, principled voice for the families and businesses in my district.

During My Tenure

During my time in the Utah House of Representatives, I have focused on protecting individual freedoms, strengthening public safety, expanding opportunity in education, and ensuring government remains accountable to the people it serves. I have sponsored and supported legislation to increase penalties for serious crimes against vulnerable individuals, improve transparency and fairness in school fees so every student has access to a quality education, and defend personal medical choice while preserving access to in-person learning. I have served on key committees dealing with business, taxation, higher education, and criminal justice, and I have worked to rein in unnecessary regulation and government overreach. My goal throughout my tenure has been simple: to listen to my constituents, apply conservative, common-sense principles, and leave Utah stronger, safer, and freer for the next generation.
