<p>Voter enacted Proposition 4 prohibits the legislature from gerrymandering congressional districts. The Utah Trump supporting GOP has fought against implementing this voter mandated law for seven years. I will fight the GOP legislature's attempts to reverse the will of the people.</p>

<p>Utah should not be supporting an agency that ignores constitutional protections for its citizens and residents.
