Let’s define corruption plainly: if an elected official, or anyone connected to them, profits from the power of their office, that is corruption. It rigs the system against the rest of us, plain and simple. When I look at Washington, I see a political class that treats public service like a private get-rich-quick scheme, writing loopholes for their corporate donors while regular families in Utah sweat over their mortgages.

I’m running because I’m tired of watching career politicians use their positions to line their own pockets while ignoring the middle-class families who don't make enough zeros to buy their attention. We need a senator who answers to citizens not special interests. It’s time to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, close the revolving door for corporate lobbyists, and firmly return the power of our government to the everyday people it is supposed to serve.
