Chris Nelson

Patrick and I served as volunteer members of the Logan City RECAB committee. Patrick is a creative, fiscally responsible, problem solver with a propensity to resolve complex issues. His unbiased approach to solving real world issues was refreshing in the face of party over country politics we face today. Vote Belmont! .

I'm voting for Patrick because he prioritizes smart, science-based solutions to problems like water management, air quality, and conservation of the Great Salt Lake's many resources.

He knocked on my door and we talked - politicians don't do that, problem solvers do. That's key for me - we need someone capable of solving problems and representing the people instead of a party.

It’s time for a new voice in the Utah Legislature

Economy And Environment

- Legislative Priority -

Utah's economy and environment are inseparable. I will work to ensure we strengthen our economy in ways that improve our environment and natural resources for today and future generations.

Quality of Life

- Legislative Priority -

I will work every day to fix our development and housing problems, improve our physical and mental health resources, ensure safety and security for all, reduce taxes for middle- and lower-income people, and increase high-paying jobs in Cache Valley.

Education is the greatest investment we can make in our society, providing people with opportunities for stability, higher paying jobs, and self-dependency. I will work to ensure that teachers, parents and students, not legislators, decide what gets taught in our classrooms.

Clean energy for a healthy climate, strong economy

The clean energy transition is well underway in the US and Utah is well positioned to become a powerhouse in clean energy...we just need legislative leadership to move forward...

Balanced, open and accountable government

Utah deserves much cleaner air

Unhealthy air quality is one of the biggest problems we face here in Utah. Historically, Utah's bad air days were typically during winter inversions, but now we're also getting....

We need to address Utah's housing crisis

Home prices went up nearly 25% in 2021 and they keep climbing in 2022. Many renters and first-time home buyers are being priced out of the market. And it is becoming harder and harder for our kids to afford living in the towns where they grew up...

Let's preserve OPEN SPACE in Cache Valley

Our amazing open spaces contribute so much to our high quality of life in Cache Valley. But we are losing open space quickly. If you have been in Cache Valley for the past few decades you have likely noticed the trend. People who have moved away from Cache Valley and moved back...
