Congressman’s goal is to control inflation

CENTERVILLE—Inflation. Everybody is feeling it and that will be Congressman Chris Stewart’s primary focus if he retains his seat in the House. Stewart held a rally for his constituents last week at Founders Park in Centerville where he talked about problems facing the country.

“We have to control inflation,” said Stewart. “We have to cut spending. People are suffering everywhere and it didn’t have to be that way. Getting control of that is the best thing we can do.”

Everyone is impacted by it, he said. “Maybe not the rich but the rest of us are. One woman and her child were on a tight budget. She ran out of that budget six months into the year for food. My youngest daughter lives in Provo and we try to get together for dinner. She said ‘I’d love to but we can’t afford to pay for gas.’”

Stewart said things such as CRT (Critical Race Theory) are teaching children to hate each other because of the color of their skin. “There’s such divisiveness. When I go to the Middle East they ask ‘are you OK back home in the U.S.?’ It worries the life out of them to know if they can count us. We know how to fix this. We can fix it.”

The Congressman was instrumental in getting $1.5 million to replace the Green Tank in Centerville. “We want to help the people back home,” he said. “We hold workshops with council members and mayors to let them know there is funding available to help them. It’s super effective to reach out to the communities and officials. We can’t help you if we don’t know.”

Stewart flew a B1 and holds three world records. “That’s a lot more fun than Congress.”

“We’re in a fight for our lives,” said Todd Muir, a Bountiful resident who attended the rally. “There’s a liberal branch of Democrats that want socialism. Chris has done a good job fighting against it. Also the Second Amendment. That’s one of the most important.”

“His morals, ethics and values match all of my values,” said Joe Morzinski from Bountiful. “I was in the military and he was too. He’s representing Utah values and helping to impart that onto other states that don’t have those.”

It's a great time to be alive, said Stewart. “We need to fight for what really matters. If you care about your country you need to fight for it. Get involved.”λ
