Lynn Jackson (Utah)

I am a native Utahn with deep family roots in Sanpete County. I was raised primarily in Carbon County. I’ve lived in se Utah for nearly all of my adult life, currently residing in Grand County, for the past 40 years. I graduated from East Carbon High School in 1972 and Utah State University as a Geologist in 1978.

I’m married to Kathryn Guymon from Price, Utah. We have 3 beautiful daughters, 7 grandkids, and anywhere from 2 to 6 dogs at any various time!

I worked at the BLM for 32 years, first in Hanksville, Utah and then in Moab, Utah. I retired in 2010. I started as a geologist, worked up the chain through supervision and ended up as an Associate Manager in Moab. These jobs gave me opportunity to work in and become familiar with issues and resources in Carbon, Emery, Wayne, Garfield, Kane, Grand and San Juan counties. It allowed me to travel within southern Utah extensively to gain a deep understanding and appreciation for our incredible land and people.

Caring for my community and state motivated me to serve as a Grand County Commissioner from 2013 through 2016 where I was able to establish influential relationships with our surrounding County Commissioners, Utah’s congressional delegation, our state government, and the legislature. I am currently serving as the Grand County Republican Party Chair.

I have also worked as a public land/mining consultant for the past 13 years in Utah and throughout the western US primarily in mining and minerals, but I’ve

• After 45 years working in public lands and on the Grand County Commission in southeastern Utah, I can clearly see just how little control our local and state elected representatives have over our future. These federal lands are our lifeblood for economic activity and jobs and if we can’t access them, to utilize them as responsibly as I believe we have for generations, then our very abilty to provide for ourselves and families is in great jeopardy.
• My deep understanding of our region’s unique rural needs combined with my ability to work effectively with the State, and my alarm at the direction the federal government is taking our future has led me to run for House District 69 representative. Representing our 6 counties will require great respect for our landscape and economies. Our ranching, minerals, timber, recreation, and tourism resources can provide enormous revenues and economies for our county and state, but we are slowly losing access to all of these resources as they are locked up in enormous and unjustifiable national monuments and conservation areas.
• At 28,000 square miles and covering 6 counties, this job will require someone who can commit to working for all the cities and communities and varied interests in the District. The sheer size of this particular District does not lend itself to a part-time job, as do other small Districts located along the Wasatch front. One cannot be working a full-time job with small children at home and expect to be able to adequately represent the citizens of this District. It’s simply not possible. My family is raised, I am retired, and I have the available time to do the work and the ability to travel as necessary to best represent all the citizens across the District.

Federal lands, responsible government, natural resource use, tourism impacts and TRT revenues, affordable housing, education, provate property rights, and economic diversity.

Our founding fathers. They understood how best to structure government with checks and balances so that greedy and overly ambitious people could not seize control. They also recognized the dangers of a pure democracy.

The US Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

Honesty and intergrity. Working for all citizens.

Honesty and integrity

Listening to and communicationg with constituents.

Someone who worked hard for the betterment of our communities and families.

The assisnibation of JFK. I was 10 years old.

Working at the Green River missile base painting structures and keeping the weeds down.

Working together for the betterment of the residents of the State

Managing growth without busiding and creating a massive state governement, and fighting to get control of all the lands in our state.

Absolutely critical. Trying to serve the people with no background of public service would make for a very ineffective public servant.

Yes. Without building relationships across the board with other legislators it's nearly impossible to develop legislation that will benefit the voters of the District.

No

Multiple stories of people and families being hurt by poor policies of state and federal government.

Depends on the nature of the emergency. Some emergencies require a single point of contact for immediate resolution, others can take the time for a group of people to come up with solutions.

TRT reform. Our District is so heavily impacted by tourism, that we need maximum flexibility in how our TRT revenues can be spent to help of citizens and communities.

Many, see campaign finance documents

Natural resources, finance, edcuation, housing

All governemtnwork should be done in the open with full transparency.

I think the requirments for amount of signatures is too high.
