10. Responses to questions from Republican candidate Chris Cannon:

1. If elected, for whom will you vote to be Speaker of the House of Representatives?

I will carefully and completely consider all possible candidates and choose the one who will best represent the interests of Utah. My first choice of all possible candidates would be Representative Allen Boyd of Florida's Second District.

2. What is your position regarding tuition tax credits?

Public and free education is the cornerstone of a civilized society. Just like every citizen has a responsibility to pay for roads, soldiers, police officers and firefighters, every person has an obligation to pay for our teachers. When we invest in public education we stimulate our economy, decrease crime and create a better quality of life for our community. Vouchers are a method whereby the rich not only stop paying into the system with everyone else, but take money out of the system in the form of a subsidy so that their children can go to selective, elite schools. I am for investing in free public education for everybody and our future.
