Braeden’s Plan For District 24

Provide a Path to Housing Opportunity and Ownership

Promote widespread home ownership through targeted tax relief, down-payment assistance for first-time buyers, and incentives that make the dream of owning a home achievable. Expand affordable housing supply by streamlining permitting, reducing excessive regulations on builders, and encouraging innovative construction methods that lower costs. Safeguard the American Dream of home ownership by enacting targeted restrictions on large investment organizations, corporations, and foreign buyers acquiring single-family dwellings.

Prioritize Quality Education and Workforce Readiness

Invest in public schools and higher education to give every child and adult a path to success. Support competitive teacher pay, expanded vocational training, and partnerships with the University of Utah for job-ready skills in tech, healthcare, and trades. Collaborate across parties for efficient funding that focuses on results, reducing class sizes, and supporting diverse student needs without unnecessary mandates.

Promote job growth by easing regulations on small businesses and encouraging innovation in urban sectors like tech, tourism, and services. Advocate for tax relief that keeps more money in working families' pockets and invests in affordable housing initiatives to attract and retain young professionals. Work bipartisanly to support downtown revitalization and economic stability for all residents.
