Property taxes and cost of living
Summary
Says property tax cuts are unlikely in the next four years and suggests raising the state sales tax to 6%.

“I would suggest a simple increase to the state’s sales tax to 6%, generating $223.5 million.”

Wants the state budget focused on childcare and education, innovation and entrepreneurship, and infrastructure.

Energy, water and environment
Summary
Proposes that data centers pay for their infrastructure, use renewable energy when possible, install flowmeters and pay per gallon of water.

Elections and government
Summary
Would agree to a 30-vote filibuster threshold and says the Legislature should not change the meaning of voter-approved measures.
“I can agree to 30-vote threshold making the filibuster only needing a 60% vote to be overcome, instead of the current 67%, putting it in line with the U.S. Senate.”
“The Legislature’s role in ballot measures is to focus on the implementation of the ballot measure. There should be no changes to the meaning behind the measure.”
