Introduction: A Message to Utah's Delegates
Esteemed Delegates of Utah,
I am John Anderson, and I'm reaching out to you today to earn your support in the upcoming election for Utah House of Representatives. As a proud Utahn for over two decades, with my family deeply rooted in our community, I believe you play a crucial role in shaping the future of our great state.
You, as delegates, have been chosen to represent the voice of your communities. You understand the pulse of Utah's people, their concerns, and their aspirations. Your role in our political process is vital, and I respect the responsibility you carry.
I'm not your typical politician. My background is in the trenches of Utah's business world, where I've made tough decisions, balanced big budgets, and led teams to success. This real-world experience has taught me valuable lessons about fiscal responsibility, innovation, and the critical importance of putting people first - lessons I believe are sorely needed in our state government.
I'm stepping up to run for the Utah House of Representatives because I believe Utah is at a crossroads. We face challenges that require bold leadership and an unwavering commitment to our shared conservative values. In the following pages, I'll outline my vision for Utah's future and the concrete steps I'll take to make that vision a reality.
1. Preserving Utah's Voice: The Redistricting Challenge
Delegates, you understand better than most the importance of fair representation. The way we draw our district lines determines whose voices are heard in our government. Right now, out-of-state interests are trying to redraw our state's political map in ways that could muffle the diverse voices of Utah. As your House Representative, I will:
  • Fight to keep the redistricting process in the hands of Utahns, reflecting our values and priorities.
  • Work to maintain a balance that ensures both our urban centers and rural areas have a seat at the table.
  • Push for a transparent process with public input and scrutiny.
  • Preserve communities of interest, keeping shared concerns together rather than splitting them apart.
  • Stand firm against any attempts at gerrymandering that unfairly favor one group over another.
Your role as delegates is crucial in this fight. Together, we can ensure that every Utahn has an equal say in the future of our great state.
2. Guarding Utah's Economic Powerhouse
As delegates, you're well aware that Utah's economy is the envy of the nation. We've built this powerhouse through fiscal responsibility and innovation. As your House Representative, I will:

1

Fiscal Responsibility
Fight against wasteful spending, treating every tax dollar with the respect it deserves. Work to maintain Utah's streak of balanced budgets.

2

Business-Friendly Environment
Cut through red tape to create an environment where businesses can thrive.

3

Strategic Investments
Champion strategic investments in education and infrastructure to keep Utah competitive.
Your support in these efforts will be crucial as we work to create opportunities for Utah families to prosper and for our children to build their futures right here at home.
3. Reclaiming Our Lands
Delegates, you know that federal control of over 60% of our state's land is more than just a statistic – it's a constraint on our economy and our freedom. My plan includes:
  • Fighting to transfer management of our public lands from federal bureaucrats to local communities.
  • Striking the right balance between conservation and responsible development of our natural resources.
  • Ensuring we maintain and improve public access for recreation as we regain control.
  • Implementing more effective wildfire prevention and management strategies.
Your voice as delegates can amplify this message and help us reclaim our right as Utahns to chart our own course.
4. Healthcare That Works for Utah
As delegates, you hear firsthand the healthcare concerns of your communities. I've spent years in the healthcare industry, and I know we can do better. My plan includes:
Patient Empowerment
Putting patients in charge of their own health decisions. Fighting to increase transparency in healthcare pricing and promote competition.
Reducing Burdens
Streamlining regulations to reduce administrative burdens on healthcare providers. Supporting initiatives to improve healthcare access in rural communities.
Protecting Patients
Protecting coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
Your input on these issues is invaluable as we work to create a healthcare system that truly serves the people of Utah.
5. Defending Our Fundamental Freedoms
Delegates, you stand on the front lines in the fight to protect our constitutional rights. I'm ready to stand with you in defending:
  • Religious Liberty: Opposing any attempt to force people of faith to violate their deeply held beliefs.
  • Second Amendment Rights: Fighting against any infringement on our right to bear arms.
  • Free Speech: Defending the right of all Utahns to speak their minds without fear of retribution.
  • Limited Government: Pushing back against federal overreach and keeping power in local hands.
  • Privacy: Supporting legislation to safeguard personal data and limit government surveillance.
Your role in upholding these freedoms is crucial, and together we can ensure that Utah remains a bastion of liberty.
6. Protecting Your Hard-Earned Assets
As delegates, you understand the importance of financial security for Utah families. I will fight against the proposed tax on "unrealized capital gains" and other threats to your financial wellbeing by:
1
Education
Educating our communities about the dangers of taxing unrealized gains.
2
Protection
Protecting Utah families from being forced to sell homes or liquidate assets to pay unfair taxes.
3
Business Support
Defending small businesses and entrepreneurs from policies that could stifle innovation and job creation.
4
Growth-Oriented Policies
Advocating for tax policies that encourage saving, investment, and long-term economic growth.
Your support in this fight is essential to protect the financial future of all Utahns.
Conclusion: A Call to Action for Utah's Delegates
