Science and disinformation

We have seen a concerning increase in quickly spreading disinformation that has contributed to some of the recent tragedies and embarrassments in our nation. Every day, I see patients in critical condition because they were fed lies on social media.

As a medical professional, I rely on evidence-based techniques in order to do my job right. As your senator, I will make legislative decisions the same way. I promise to always rely on facts so that Utah can reach its full potential, without being influenced by disinformation.

One of my first legislative goals will be to start an ongoing public health campaign to ensure that disinformation isn’t the first thing Utahns hear about new treatments and programs.

Furthermore, I promise to vote NO on any bill that is based on disinformation. I refuse to let Utah be damaged by legislating conspiracy theories.
