Throughout his years on the radio he has come up with unique ground breaking solutions that build upon common ground. Jay’s ability to listen and problem solve makes him uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between all sides. If we are ever going to see true change in Washington we must choose leaders like Jay who are able to find common ground and work outward instead of fostering division and anger.\n</p><p><br/>\n<b>Limited Government</b>\n</p><p>The smaller the government is the more representation we each will have. When programs that should be local are given to the federal government we each lose our ability to control or effect change over said program. The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The founders knew that a bloated federal government would be impossible to control. It is just common sense that the more local an issue is, the more the people will be engaged in the political process. We must resist all efforts to increase the size of the federal government knowing that states and their people are much better stewards of their resources and programs.\n</p><p><br/>\n<b>Fiscal Responsibility</b>\n</p><p>The federal deficit is out of control and neither side is showing a willingness to turn this ship around. A significant portion of every tax dollar you pay goes directly to debt. For each new generation their tax dollars will be of less value because our elected officials cannot resist the temptation to mortgage our children’s future. No new programs should be implemented without a clear path to fund it and we should resist any new expenditures before we begin to pay down the current debt.\n</p><p><br/>\n<b>Protecting the Environment</b>\n</p><p>Instead of getting caught up in the debate about whether or not climate change is man-made, let’s focus on the common goals of clean water, clean air, and energy independence. We all want these things for ourselves and for future generations. Through a combination of government incentives, corporate innovation, and responsible citizenry we can accomplish these goals in our lifetime. And we can do so without destroying commerce or jobs. Let each generation be able to declare that they left this planet better than they found it.\n</p><p><br/>\n<b>Immigration Reform</b>\n</p><p>Controlled immigration is a necessary and healthy part of the continued growth of our nation. However, uncontrolled and illegal immigration brings with it many damaging elements that can be eliminated with comprehensive immigration reform. Creating a clear path for employers to be able to hire immigrants while at the same time building deterrents to illegal immigration will go a long way in removing the detractors for illegal immigration. Having a strongly enforced immigration policy is essential in these days of global pandemics, terrorist threats, and economic uncertainty. Those who are willing to following the rules should be welcomed with open arms. We should never leave behind compassion for our fellow human beings who are seeking access to the American Dream.\n</p><p><br/>\n<b>Fighting for Utah</b>\n</p><p>The primary goal of any elected member of congress should be to fight to protect the rights of the state they represent. Giving away state powers to the federal government should only be allowed in the most exigent of circumstances. JayMac will fight to bring home powers that have been usurped by the federal government.<sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-quotedisclaimer_2-0\"><a href=\"#cite_note-quotedisclaimer-2\">[2]</a></sup>\n</p>\n</td>\n<td style=\"border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; padding: 10px 1px;\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"20\">”\n</td></tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"cquotecite\" colspan=\"3\" style=\"border: none; padding-right: 4%\"><cite style=\"font-style: normal;font-size: smaller; float: right;\">—Jay Mcfarland’s campaign website (2022)<sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-3\"><a href=\"#cite_note-3\">[3]</a></sup></cite>\n</td></tr></tbody></table>\n</div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"></div>\n<div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-6 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-offset-3\"><p><a href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia%27s_Candidate_Connection\"><img align=\"middle\" alt=\"Candidate Connection\" src=\"https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/8/88/Candidate_Connection_Logo.png\" width=\"90%\"/></a></p></div></div>\n<p>Jay Mcfarland completed <a href=\"/Ballotpedia%27s_Candidate_Connection\">Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection</a> survey in 2020.
