Key issues
Six things I work on
Carlos ran on these commitments in 2024 and they are the lens for every vote he casts on the Council. Coverage of his work is collected in Carlos in the media.
01The West Side first
District 2 covers Copperton, Herriman, Kearns, Magna, South Jordan, West Jordan and West Valley City. It is the fastest-growing and most diverse part of the county, and for years it has felt like an afterthought. Every county decision gets asked the same question: what does it do for the West Side?
02Taxes and spending
Families on the West Side feel every increase in the property tax bill. Carlos favors holding the line on taxes and reining in spending, so county services stay effective without asking more from the people who pay for them.
03An efficient county government
A county that does fewer things well beats one that does many things slowly. Carlos looks for duplicated programs, delays and layers that residents pay for and never see.
04Public safety and law enforcement
Carlos backs the officers who patrol the West Side and works with law enforcement to close the gap between neighborhoods and police agencies. He has proposed a West Side Safety Advisory Committee to give residents a standing seat at that table.
05Civic education and participation
Government answers to the people who show up. Carlos wants more residents to know how the county works, to attend meetings and to vote. His own materials are published in English and Spanish so that every neighbor can take part. Start with the civic guide.
06Opportunities for youth
Safe places, programs and first jobs for the young people of the West Side, so that the next generation can build its future here.
