Endorsements

I would like to endorse Mike Petersen for the House of Representatives. I believe that he will vote as a conservative, will listen to the people he represents and not to the powerful people of the party or the state. I was totally against the tax bill that was passed this past December 2019. I know that Mike will do his best to use the tax payer money for the needs of the state and "look out" for all people. I believe that he will make a difference and strive to be a leader for the people and not a follower. — Kimber Hall
Owner, Hall Store and Oil

For the past two years Representative Mike Petersen has been defending small businesses and parental rights during a pandemic, supporting our valleys educators with additional time and pay, and protecting our children from bills that push Comprehensive Sex Education. We KNOW where Representative Petersen stands on protecting individual liberties, families, and education. We KNOW what he will do in office because he has spent the last two years doing it.

— Jennie Earl
Utah State Board of Education, District 1

I have worked with Mike nearly every day for the past 25 years, and I know that he is hard-working, sincere, and honest. He's not running for office to make a career, but to make a difference. He lives by his principles and will vote the issues on the foundational principles of freedom and liberty. If you believe in these same principles, you will find no better representative than Mike. — Leston Drake

Mike Petersen is an essential member of our State Legislature because he can be trusted to do the right thing for Utah. He is vigilant in his duty to uphold the Constitution and protect the God-given rights of Utahns, no matter the personal consequences. Mike understands the proper role of government. If you're concerned about an overreaching government, then I encourage you to support Mike in his re-election campaign. — Karianne Lisonbee

I work with Representative Mike Petersen and I am impressed with his work ethic and determination. He is a consistent voice for conservative principles in the legislature. He works well with the other legislators to get things done. As chair of the senate education committee, I appreciate that Mike is a proponent of parental rights in education and ensuring students receive the education that’s best for them. I encourage you to vote for Mike Petersen. We need his voice in our legislature for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and property rights. He is not afraid to vote no when a bill doesn’t comply with his focus on  limited government. — John Johnson

It has been a pleasure to work with Representative Mike Petersen over the past couple of years as we have served together to represent the people of Cache Valley. Mike is a man of integrity, is passionate about his beliefs, and is serving for the right reasons. I have been impressed with Mike’s commitment to his constituents. He truly cares and responds to their concerns. He loves what he is doing and works extremely hard and is engaged in many bills and appropriations that impact his district. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Mike on infrastructure projects, including water, sewer, and road projects important to communities in Cache Valley.

Mike Petersen is a gifted person. He loves what is right and he consumes truth, and then holds to them in a most passionate manner. It is the kind of passion that you want to support, knowing that he is looking out for your good. I support him in this bid for a Legislative position in Utah, and trust he will work for us, knowing what is needed, and then finding ways to accomplish the task. He is very capable of accomplishing a betterment for all of us here in Cache Valley. — Jerry Wilson

We have been neighbors to Mike and his family for 20 years. We have known Mike to be a dedicated husband, father, leader and member of our community. Mike is approachable, conservative, and passionate (almost driven), to serving the people of Utah. He is well informed with the issues we face, has done his homework and is equipped with solutions and follow-through. We strongly endorse Mike Petersen with our votes to the Utah State Legislature-House District 2. — Brent & Vicky Yeates

Representative Mike Petersen is a valuable, trusted, and honest member of the legislature who stands for conservative principles and American values. The people of Cache Valley and the State of Utah would be lucky to have his continued representation. — Mike Schultz

I have endorsed Dr. Mike Petersen not just because he is sincere and authentic, but also politically experienced enough to get things done without behaving as though he is detached from the people. He is a real conservative, and thoughtfully measures every issue by how it affects our freedom. I am very confident Mike Petersen is the best option to represent our values and our Cache Valley voice to the state.

— Jonathan Johnson

Mike is a man of conservative principles. He is a statesman who serves our district well and we need his voice in our legislature. He is full of integrity and I trust him to make the right decisions. One of the best parts about Mike is he will listen to your concerns. I encourage you to re-elect Mike Petersen! — Ryan Smith

Mike Petersen is one of the few true conservatives in the Utah legislature. He is honest, hard-working, and principled. He is a model of integrity who can always be counted on to do the right thing and not bend to special interests. His humble demeanor and warm personality makes him easy to work with and effective in bringing people together. Mike has my full support to represent District 2 in the Utah House of Representatives. — Representative Jordan Tuescher

Having been one of the organizers of the statewide tax referendum and listening to hundreds of people who understood exactly what the tax reform bill that further limited their disposable income, I'm confident the Republican voters of Utah would prefer a representative who listened to his constituents first and foremost. Mike will be that type of legislator. We need Mike in the Utah legislature. It's time to return the voice to the people not the legislature's leadership team. I encourage you to vote for Mike Petersen, the people's person. — Lisa Shepherd

I've worked with Mike in business and found him to be honest, intelligent and a nice guy! I'm sure he will do a great job in this position! — Mark Alexander

Mike shares the same love as I do for our Party Platform. We both believe that government should serve and represent the people and not overrule and burden the people. — Michele Alder

I fully endorse Mike Petersen to represent the people of Cache Valley in the Utah House of Representatives. I have only known Mike for a few months. I saw his commitment to the people during the Successful Tax Referendum that resulted in the legislature repealing the tax law passed in special session in December of 2019. The current rep voted for the complicated tax reform bill and has stated since the people did not understand the nature of the bill. Mike will represent you and not special interests. Please join me in supporting Mike Petersen for Utah House of Representatives District 3. — Layne Beck

I have known Mike for 3 years now. He is a good man, a hard working and honest man. I have listened to his point of view on the issues facing Utah. I agree with him. I especially support his desires to shift taxes from federal level to the state level and to reduce taxes on services. Go Mike ! — Jerry Serr

Mike is as honest, good hearted, spiritual and as hard a working man as I know. I would trust Mike with anything I cherish, and I cherish Utah and America. He will, without a doubt, say what he thinks clearly and without political shuck and jive. He will work as hard as humanly possible to fulfill his promises. I know that his values and ideals are those that this state and country need right now. I cannot recommend Mike Petersen more highly. A vote for Mike is a vote pointing in the right direction. — David Hoffmann

My wife, Jody, and I first met Mike and Sallie Petersen when we were young married college students. I learned, on one of our first fishing outings, that Mike was a person of immense integrity and capacity. As he started his career in Logan, and then started his company, Letter Press Software, and then Letter Press Consulting, it was not surprising to see his company thrive and for Mike to remain constant to commitment to his family and his faith. Nor was it surprising that he started a company that has had a huge positive impact on the lives of many. I will just note that Sallie, a speech therapist, and Jody, a Registered Nurse, were supporting Mike and I respectively in our classes at BYU. 

Utah is at a crossroads! This nation is at a crossroads! If we value our republic, we had better start electing people who understand what it means to have a republican form of government, who know from what source just governments derive their powers, and who are equipped to swim against the currents of political pressure to preserve our freedoms. Mike is that person! 

Our rights are not a gift from government. State legislatures, to quote Alexander Hamilton, must “always be not only vigilant but suspicious and jealous guardians of the rights of the citizens against encroachments from the federal government.” And I would add, encroachments from the State government. We live in interesting times when government is looking for every opportunity to expand their control of our lives. Most citizens would prefer that our elected representative fight to preserve our rights not bargain them away. Mike understands that elected office is a service and a duty. 

This is important! Please support Mike for House District 2 in the Utah House of Representatives. I enthusiastically give Mike my full endorsement. Please take the time to find out what he stands for and you will likely agree, we need Representatives like Mike Petersen! 

Very Sincerely, 

— Phil Lyman
Utah State Representative
