Humans are biased and the media is populated by humans. The founders knew that the media would be biased; because humans are involved, there is no other way.
We can and should call for accuracy and responsibility in reporting from every member of the press. But a free press, even if biased, was guaranteed in our Constitution because it is critical to the preservation of the Republic.
I sometimes become irritated by stories I know are wrong, especially when they are about me. But I cannot conceive of thinking or saying that the media or any responsible news organization is an enemy. The media is essential to our Republic, to our freedom, to the cause of freedom abroad, and to our national security. It is very much our friend.

Health insurance costs must be reined in. I will apply my career experience in healthcare and finance to install market-based incentives to reduce costs. This will include transparency in provider pricing and quality information to consumers.
I will promote cost-sharing insurance policies and health savings accounts. Further, I support requiring pharmaceutical companies to spread the cost of drug development with other countries, reducing the huge price inequity Americans experience. On the supply front: pressure Mexico, China, and other countries to curtail the flow of illegal drugs into the U.
On the demand front: provide counseling and treatment for those who want to escape drug addictions; and assure that first responders are equipped with necessary medications to prevent overdose deaths. Second Amendment I support the second amendment. Gun laws and school safety measures should be established by each state, not imposed by the federal government. I do not support newly proposed federal gun legislation with the exception of the removal of bump stocks for public sale and an updated background check system promoted by Congress and President Trump.
I will defend religious liberty and will only vote to confirm judicial nominees who will fully honor the First Amendment guarantee of the same. Utah Values My parents were both raised in Utah and thus my home was imbued with Utah values; they filled us with the love of God, reverence for freedom, respect for others, and the importance of service, civility, and frugality.
Ann and I have enjoyed our residency in Utah for ten years, first during college, while leading the Olympics, and after my career, having made Utah our permanent home. Action, Not Just Talk By virtue of the relationships I have in Washington, with other senators and the President, I will be able to accomplish more for the people of Utah than the average junior senator.
I have built valuable relationships throughout my decades of work in public service, as head of the Salt Lake Olympics, and during my presidential campaigns, that will prepare me to serve the people of Utah through meaningful action.

My record of getting things done in the private sector, community, and government, is evidence that I can and will do what needs to be done for the people of Utah. Ballotpedia collects information on campaign donors for each year in which a candidate or incumbent is running for election.
