Affordability in Utah
View this email in your browser

Hi << Test First Name >>,

This is Dave Parke, Candidate for House District 30. 

For too many families in West Valley City, inflation is making it harder to live here. Between the rising cost of groceries, high taxes on seniors, and sky-high housing prices, young families are increasingly unable to buy their first home, and longtime residents can’t afford to stay here. I’m running to change that.

Affordability & The Cost of Living

The cost of living is about more than the price of a house. When families cannot afford to live near where they work, it can mean longer commutes, added expenses, and more pressure on household budgets. It also affects local employers who need workers and communities that want to maintain a strong local economy.

We need to make it easier to build housing, lower taxes for seniors and longtime residents, and make everyday expenses more affordable. That means removing unnecessary regulations and barriers that drive up construction costs, ensuring growth is managed thoughtfully, and making government more fiscally responsible so taxes can be lowered responsibly.

We also need to make sure local communities have a strong voice in decisions that affect their neighborhoods. Existing infrastructure and services should keep pace with new development, and preserve the vibrant character that
West Valley is known for.

The West Side deserves a stronger voice and a seat at the table in the legislature. Families should have the opportunity to own a home and build a future here. I’ll work to advance policies that expand housing opportunities, lower taxes, and help make West Valley City an affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.

I’d appreciate your support as we work toward a more affordable future for our city.

Best,

Dave Parke
Candidate for Utah House District 30
