I expect that if elected to the U.S. Senate to represent Utah we will see the most conservative Mitt we have ever seen. He will represent Utah which is in many ways the most conservative state in the nation and Mitt will accurately reflect the values of those he represents.
In his previous elected experience Mitt had to work with the Mass State Legislature which was 90% democrat. Then when he ran for president he had to position himself to pick up enough electoral votes to win.…

In 2016, Rep. Lifferth was again recognized as a Chamber of Commerce Business Champion. Despite voting against some of the crony capitalism bills such as the Facebook tax break, Lifferth's support for a pro-business environment for all business has again earned him recognition by the Chamber of Commerce.…

Rep. Lifferth was the only elected official in North West Utah County to vote against Tax Break for Facebook.
The $300 Million tax break for Facebook passed by large margins in the Utah State House and Senate and a smaller $100 Million tax break was approved by the Utah State Board of Education. In the end, Facebook chose to build their data center in New Mexico which had given even larger incentives to Facebook which is one of the biggest companies in the…
