Here are my notes from tonight’s event. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

Q: What’s on your nightstand?

We have iPod. Book: all the light I cannot see, scriptures, a lot of journals (scientific) We typically read the same thing. The write brothers red rising pierces brown.

Ann convinced mitt to run the summer games. It changed our life.

Q: You stay connected as a couple? what do you do to stay grounded?

We know what matters, what success really means. To win at life you have to be successful in other ways.

Mitt: Can’t define your life by campaigns. Our life is defined by our relationship to each other, kids etc. Politics is making a contribution with our lives. We had our 49th anniversary. It’s such a joy. By having our children young we have the energy to enjoy our life.

Q: What are you thinking about to represent Utah?

Want to change focus. Utah 29 counties 11 are shrinking. 4 counties there are more prescriptions for opioids than people. We face the challenge to help fast-growing counties. Returning to the constitution and get the federal government out of our business.

Q: How will Trade tariffs affect Utah?

China must recognize that business, as usual, will change.  China has been cheating, stealing our patients. Products are artificially inexpensive. President you’ve got to change our rules or you will not have access to the biggest market of the USA.

Q: Relationship with President Trump?

In the past, I have not agreed with the President. How build a bridge go cross teasel. Make a difference.

The President respects people who say what they mean. I will call them like I see them. To get most things done in the Senate you must have a few Democrats to cross the aisle. Look for areas where we agree.

Q: How feel about junior senator?

I’m glad to hear I’m junior at age 70

Q: How feel about ‘me to’ (woman’s abuse)?

I’m glad people are getting caught. Have men recognize we must recognize the women we work with.

Q: Your feelings on immigration: daca and dreamers?

Troops go to the boards. This is not the first time it has happened. Obama and bush.

I like legal immigration. We welcome them to our shores. Our ancestors did it and current citizens are legal immigrants.

We need to top illegal immigration. That means a barrio, need a verification system, sanctions employers who don’t obey laws.

Daca young people: should have legal status. They should not be given a special (fast) pathway to citizenship. They need to get in line with the rest.

Q: What is your secret parent advice?

Ann: how do the mother and father interact with each other? Do they love and respect each other.

Mitt has never raised his voice to me. We love one other.

Most important to raise productive kids are to love your spouse (a child phycologist advised Mitt).

Ann pays a more important role in our family mitt recognized it.

I’m concerned by the growing sense of anger by either side. We are all Americans. Regan quote: it is not that the liberals are ignorant it’s just what they know is wrong.

Men to match my mountains: Irvin stone book to build America.

A bit about Mitt’s father:

How did as governor: wife; dad came from abject poverty. Grew up with Marian g Romney. Ann tell husband step up and do. Father became governor of a state, ran for president, and ran general motors.

Had an enormous impact on the children’s and grandchildren

Ann told  Mitt to run elections.

Q: When mitt agreed to run Olympics?

Son told him there was nothing we had conceived to have your picture on the FrontPage of the sports section.

Q: Ann, how is your health with ms?

In remission. My job now is for those who are suffering are to lean on me. My turn to give them helping hand. And do all we can to give them cures. Have medical center to study disease. We have 250 researches working on brain disorders.

Q; would you give same speech on trump: would you say the same thing?

I like that he is targeting certain countries on the tariffs. If the president says something that is deemed abusive: I will point out that I disagree with. Integrity comes with a price. Trump is right to push against regulations. Stoop overreach of lands. Tings he accomplished for first year I’ve agreed with.

Q: of the US in the world?

Military: we need to have a high hurdle before we our men and women in harm’s way. Congress needs to be part of that decision.

It is a responsibly of free people they share our values with others. Show that free enterprise and freedom wor4ks. Use our trade and diplomacy to encourage and adopt new policies.

One reason our nations is doing so well is other parts of the country are doing well. Free enterprise is the best things in our favor.

Q: What is your hope to be your legacy?

Ann: want people to think in terms of integrity, intelligence, hope, goodness and all those wonderful virtues.

Mitt: I believe Utah values can be shared with Washington. Return to the principles of the constitution. Legislators govern our lives. We can’t keep spending more than we take in.

Believe in religious liberty.
