Two of Provo's biggest challenges are our long-term economic outlook and the rising cost of housing.
First: our economy. Right now, it's shrinking. Sales tax revenue has fallen by over $1 million a year since 2022, adjusted for inflation.
A strong tax base means better services and more money in your pockets. I’ll fight to attract jobs, revitalize our downtown, and make Provo the best city in Utah to start a business.
Second: our housing crisis. Families are being priced out of the market. Renters are spilling into family neighborhoods. Investors buy up what’s left.
We need more homes on the market, of all kinds, so people can afford to stay.
Demand to live in Provo has grown in recent years, but our housing stock hasn’t kept up. Many starter homes have turned into short-term rentals. It’s harder than ever to get a foothold in the market.
Provo needs more options on the housing market. This includes student housing and apartments, planned thoughtfully in the right locations.
The American starter home has nearly gone extinct. It’s time to bring it back. I’ll fight for common-sense zoning reform that lets us build the traditional, entry-level homes our parents and grandparents grew up in.
Provo is growing, but how we grow is up to us. We can keep our open spaces while welcoming new neighbors if we plan right.
Sprawling outwards threatens our open spaces and puts strain on city infrastructure. We need to grow smarter by focusing on infill development and making better use of the infrastructure we already have.
This means supporting neighborhood-friendly housing types like backyard cottages and duplexes. Larger developments should be planned near downtown, the university, and transit stations.
Provo is deeply connected to the cities around us. We can’t solve our problems alone.
As Utah County grows, we’ll need stronger regional coordination. As a City Council member, I’ll advocate for smarter transit planning, a forward-looking approach to growth, and a regional housing strategy that helps every city do its part.
A sustainable future for Provo means building a city that lasts: financially, environmentally, and generationally.
Financially, we need to maintain infrastructure before it fails and make sure our growth doesn't lead to long-term budget shortfalls.
Environmentally, we should use land, water, and energy more efficiently. We should protect our canyons and foothills.
Generationally, we need to keep Provo livable and affordable so the next generation can put down roots here. Our children shouldn’t be forced out by rising costs or poor planning.
I’m excited to help build this future.
