Mia Love- Theres been some confusion over a poorly-written article by Lisa Riley Roche of the Deseret News, so let me make clear my position. My vote over the shutdown would have been the same as that of Utahs other GOP House members – Jason Chaffetz, Rob Bishop, and Chris Stewart. I would have voted against funding Obamacare and voted to keep open the rest of the government. I would not have voted, as Jim Matheson did, to continue the reckless rate of spending that President Obama and Harry Reid have insisted on. I believe its wrong for us to kick the can down the road by shackling our children and grandchildren with our debt. Unfortunately, a false narrative exists out there that I disagree with Senator Mike Lee’s goals and commitment. Heres the truth: Aside from state legislators, I was the only elected leader who stood with Senator Lee at his rally earlier this month. Senator Lees devotion to limited government, fiscal discipline, and personal responsibility is a goal I share, and Im proud to have stood with approximately 2,000 fellow Utahns on a cold, November morning to applaud his commitment of defunding Obamacare and putting Utah first.
