Braden Hess

Taxes / Budget I support lowering taxes and reforming our tax system to make it simpler, fairer, and more efficient—putting money back in your pockets and fueling economic growth. Guns I will staunchly defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Utahns to protect themselves, their families, and their property. Housing We'll streamline zoning and approvals to encourage more homes—low- to medium-density housing, not high-density—while preserving Utah's character. Education I support expanding school choice, empowering parents as the primary decision-makers, and keeping education decisions local to meet the unique needs of our communities—free from federal overreach. Government Reform . I will work to minimize unnecessary government interference, cut wasteful spending, and promote responsible policies that allow small businesses to thrive, create jobs, and help families prosper. Civil Rights I will rigorously vet judicial appointees to ensure they respect and apply the Constitution, interpret laws faithfully, and serve justice without judicial activism or bias. Abortion / Contraception I am unapologetically pro-life and committed to policies that protect the unborn, empower parents, strengthen families, and defend life at every stage with compassion and support. Government Reform I will zealously guard the separation of powers and defend federalism against overreach.
