Vision
As commissioner Larry seeks to create a Utah County where individuals and families can realize their dreams and aspirations.
Economic Well-Being: A strong economic base is critical to supporting our infrastructure needs, including education and transportation. We need a vibrant business climate to create jobs to sustain our community today and we need to create jobs for our children and grandchildren.
Transportation: A top priority as commissioner is to find long-term solutions to Utah County's critical transportation issues. Mobility is the key to economic development and the quality of life.
Fiscal Responsibility: Commissioners need to be wise stewards of the taxpayers' dollars in delivering necessary services to the residents of Utah County.
Safety: This is a key ingredient in ensuring that we are able to maintain an outstanding quality of life. We must remain diligent in out efforts and encourage everyone to become involved in creating safe neighborhoods.
Growth: As Utah County continues to experience some of the fastest growth rate in the state, we need leadership that can harness the collective wisdom and ideas of Utah County residents to help in managing that growth.
Balance: We must be diligent in protecting individual rights while allowing freedoms to be exercised in a spirit of well-being for all.
