It's Time for a Change
Stand for Utah's Values
Doug Durbano for Utah Senate District 5

I'm Doug Durbano

I am running to be your Republican State Senator in District 5

I am a successful business owner and family man and will never accept “big money” and quid pro quos that corrupt most politicians. I am a constitutional attorney who has fought and won against the government. Instead, I am going to our state’s Capitol to fight big government, advocate for pro-small business policies, and protect the rights and freedoms of Utahns.

I Am A Republican Because...

I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the individual and that each person's dignity, freedom, ability and responsibility must be honored.

I BELIEVE in equal rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, sex, age or disability.

I BELIEVE free enterprise and encouraging individual initiative have brought this nation opportunity, economic growth and prosperity.

I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn.

 

I BELIEVE the proper role of government is to provide for the people only those critical functions that cannot be performed by individuals or private organizations and that the best government is that which governs least.

I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible and responsive government is government closest to the people.

I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that have made us strong while developing new and innovative ideas to meet the challenges of changing times.

I BELIEVE Americans value and should preserve our national strength and pride while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.

FINALLY, I believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle for translating these ideals into positive and successful principles of government.

Parents Know Best!

As a father and grandfather, I am deeply concerned with the content being taught in our children's schools. It’s time to change the way our education system is run to bring the power back to our parents. Math, English and science belong in our classrooms, not the divisive theories being pushed today. Our parents know what is best for their children, not the government.
