As Weber County Clerk/Auditor and chair of the state clerks' legislative committee, testified against a bill changing how candidates' nominating-petition signatures are checked (House Bill 458). It would have let only the clerk of the county where a signer lives verify that signature, adding counting and certification steps for offices that cross county lines. The committee voted 6-2 to hold the bill, and it advanced no further.
