Patrice is running because she wants to bring government's focus back to YOU.

Civility: We need to restore civility to government. Leaders should rely on the strength of their ideas–not name calling–when promoting legislation.  And while they may not always achieve unity on issues, our elected officials should always strive for mutual respect. If elected,  Patrice will promote an environment that welcomes diverse perspectives but will not tolerate personal attacks.
 
Collaboration: Sound public policy is the product of healthy debate and bipartisan collaboration. Patrice is humbled to have been consistently named one of the most effective legislators by the Deseret News – a recognition attributed to her success in working with leaders of both parties.  If elected, Patrice will continue to encourage legislators to work together to advance the interests of all Utahns.
 
Citizen-centered leadership: We rightfully expect legislators to make decisions that reflect our priorities and use tax dollars wisely.  Sadly, Patrice fears that some elected officials have lost sight of those guiding principles, resulting in time lost and money wasted. If elected, she will promote sensible, citizen-centered legislation on the issues that matter to you.
