Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. Housing is critical to creating neighborhoods that can truly thrive. Silvia will prioritize housing initiatives that support first-time home buyers, protect renters and homeowners, and mixed housing where it makes the most sense. It’s imperative to address homelessness with practical and compassionate solutions.

Through Silvia’s work and experience on the Jordan River Commission, she’s seen the urgency for more funding to support infrastructure along our rivers and creeks that can get water back to the Great Salt Lake. She supports efforts to promote statewide water conservation and plans to make sure we can have a solid quality of life in the valley for the next 50 years and beyond.

Working families continue to fall behind despite doing everything they can to stay afloat in our current economy. Silvia will work to lower everyday costs where possible, strengthen wages, and support working class policies that ensure our economy works for the people who power it—not just those at the top.

Everyone deserves to live openly, safely, and with dignity. Silvia will stand firmly against discrimination and work to protect the rights of all LGBTQ+ Utahns.

Arts and culture strengthen our communities, fuel our economy, and tell our shared story. As a former trained dancer, championing investments in art and culture is important to Silvia, and she will support expanding access to art programming in schools and public spaces and finding ways to help Utah’s arts and artists thrive.

Silvia believe personal medical decisions belong to individuals—not the government. She will defend reproductive freedom and ensure access to safe, legal, and dignified care that includes families of all kinds. Supporting families also means finding ways to expand affordable childcare options and pushing for stable and affordable healthcare policies.

Keeping public school systems strong and intact gives every child opportunity no matter what neighborhood they live in. Silvia believes schools that serve all families anchor diverse and prosperous communities. She will defend policies that fully fund schools, support educators, and ensure a safe learning environment for all students. She also supports finding a way to provide universal free lunch for every child in every school.
