Priority 01

Lower Costs & Affordable Living

Utah's growth should create opportunity without pricing families out of their communities.

Alan's commitmentPut household affordability ahead of politically connected subsidies and hidden cost shifts.
47.99%Increase in Utah County's 2025 property-tax budget, not counting new growth.
$8.9MInstructional budget reduction imposed on UVU.
Up to $1.8BCombined public funding limits for two Salt Lake sports districts.

The household test

Who pays, who benefits, and was the decision made in public?

The state should answer those questions before it approves a major incentive, shifts a cost to local government, or changes the tax code.

01 · TAX FAIRNESS

Fix unfair cost shifts

Push for accurate commercial property values so homeowners do not carry an unfair share of the tax burden.

02 · PUBLIC VALUE

Demand proof before subsidies

Require clear public costs, firm benefits, and an outside review before approving large taxpayer incentive packages.

03 · HOUSING

Make room for attainable homes

Support housing in the right places and plan for the water, roads, utilities, and schools it will need.

04 · STATE BUDGET

Stop passing the bill downward

Oppose state cuts that leave cities, counties, schools, and families to pay the difference.

The local contrast

UVU cuts. Sports subsidies. Different priorities.

A freshman representative cannot rewrite the entire state budget. But that representative can vote transparently, force a public conversation, and make District 61's priorities impossible to ignore.

01

Fight to restore UVU funding through the state's reinvestment process.

02

Vote against incentive packages that do not show clear public value.

03

Publish a plain-language explanation of major budget and tax votes.

Alan's plans should be open to scrutiny. These are the reports and public records behind the claims on this page.

The $1.8 billion figure combines a $900 million stadium limit for the Fairpark district with a $900 million limit in the downtown agreement. It is not a direct payment from the state budget.
