She understands the growth and fiscal responsibilities necessary to ensure the amazing quality of life we experience as Utah residents continues for our families and children.

We in the Farm Bureau trust her conservative mindset. She will reach out to see where a bill affects farmers. We have many friends of agriculture on Capitol Hill and she is one of them.
• Representative Phil Lyman: When it comes to being a lawmaker, Karianne Lisonbee combines hard work, sound logic, and conservative values to create thoughtful legislation. She is fully engaged in her legislative efforts. She is unintimidated by complex or controversial issues and strikes a healthy balance between advocacy and diplomacy. She is a consistent and fierce defender or the 2^nd Amendment, hunting rights, criminal justice, fiscal accountability, and many other important aspects of government. Representative Lisonbee has my full endorsement for reelection to the Utah House of Representatives.
• Tim Roper: Karianne takes the responsibilities of government to an entirely new level in her duties as a state legislator. She truly represents the people of her district by taking time to meet with them and listen to their concerns.

Karianne is not afraid to stand up for the people who put her in office and give them a voice. She has built relationships with local elected leaders as well as those in both the Legislature and the Senate to protect our rights. We need her leadership at the capitol to continue to keep Utah a great place to live.
• Don Guymon - Utah Grassroots: It is my privilege to endorse my friend Karianne Lisonbee in her reelection for the Utah House. I have been involved with politics in the state of Utah and Davis County for over 20 years. Karianne has continued the great tradition of this district being represented by principled conservatives in the tradition of Donald Bush and Curt Oda. The district has had three of the best legislators I have known in Davis County. As Chairman and Editor of the GrassRoots report, I have tracked legislators' support for principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, family, and protection of God-given rights since 2001. Karianne has always been one of the members of the Utah House best committed to these principles. I first got to know Karianne as we worked together in the Davis County Republican Party. She was committed to party members preserving their first amendment rights. Thank you for your service and please protect good government in Utah by supporting Karianne Lisonbee in her reelection to the Utah House. 
• JL and Mary Thornton: We have lived in Clearfield for 12 years. Before moving to Clearfield, we were very active in local, county and state politics and as a result we know several current and former legislators. As we talk with them, they all say the same things about Kari, “She’s a great representative, she’s doing a great job, we love working with her, she works hard and does a great job representing you.” We have worked with Kari now for several years and find her to have extremely high values. We feel she represents us, the people she was elected to serve. We highly recommend that all our friends and neighbors VOTE FOR KARIANNE LISONBEE.
• Pat and Kathryn Murray: We strongly encourage you to join with us in voting for our good friend Karianne Lisonbee for Utah House of Representatives District 14.

We have known Karianne for several years and are continuously impressed by her hard work, honesty and commitment to serve others.
• Dan and Marlene Merkling: We have tremendously appreciated her responsiveness in frequent postings of what’s going on during the state legislative sessions. She lets everyone know what bills she is supporting and why, and what other bills are up for debate. When we have asked a question concerning one of these bills, Karianne took the time to respond to us specifically and validated our concern, as well as expressing what she was doing to address that.
• Candace Daly, State Director - National Federation of Independent Businesses : In 2019 and 2020, Representative Karianne Lisonbee championed legislation that reduced onerous and costly regulations on small businesses in Utah.

• Tonya and Jeff Baker: Karianne has been wonderful to work with. We found her to be highly responsive and personally concerned. My wife, who is disabled, was experiencing challenges from our insurance company. Karianne stepped in and stirred them to positive action, We have also seen Karianne involved both in and out of the legislature working hard to accomplish a lot of good for a lot of people. She certainly has our support moving forward.
• Corinne Bolduc: Karianne Lisonbee is the most knowledgeable candidate on current issues, the history on how we got here, and what we can do about it. If a new issue presents itself, she investigates, talks to people, and finds out all the facts, putting in the work necessary for appropriate and responsible decision making. She is the only person ready to serve at the state level because of her experience with city government and interacting with the State Legislature on issues that affect us all. Karianne is committed to keeping taxes low with innovative, cost-effective solutions and by minimizing government. And, most importantly, she is experienced at boldly bringing attention to and stopping government over-reach by those who are in positions of power. A vote for Karianne is a vote for your rights.
• Bruce Young: I have had the chance to get to know and observe Karianne Lisonbee as she has served as our representative in the Utah Legislature the last couple of years, both from working with her while I served on the Clearfield City Council and as an individual constituent. She studies the issues thoroughly to make decisions with integrity, based on principle and always in the best interests of the people she represents. She works to keep our tax burden fair and as light as possible, is not afraid to tackle issues head on and is fearless in defense of what is right. Please join me in supporting Karianne for a second term representing us.
• Tom Parke: Karianne is a trusted Conservative who always puts the Constitution and its principles first. She is willing to listen to all sides and find solutions to problems. She is not swayed by the ever changing winds in politics. I enthusiastically endorse Karianne Lisonbee for Utah House District 14.
• Nike Peterson: I support Karianne and have seen how involved and knowledgeable she is in both city and state government. Karianne is first and foremost a voice for those she represents, unafraid to take a stand and advocate for their rights and concerns. She not only supports critical issues like greater local control of government and parental rights to make education choices for their children, but I've seen her passionately defend those rights amidst intense opposition. Karianne has spent the last eight legislative sessions actively following bills and working with local House and Senate leaders. That experience, as well as relationships with other representatives that Karianne has cultivated, makes her the right fit for Utah House District 14.
• Betty Young: Some people asked me for whom I am going to vote, and why, this upcoming election. The answer is really easy for house district 14, Karianne Lisonbee. I have known her for several years by now and I can say without any doubt she is the most qualified, honest, caring, responsible and hardworking woman I know. A lot of politicians during political campaigns promise the world to the voters in order to be elected, just to find out later that it was a lie. Karianne instead is a woman of honor she keeps her promises, she works really hard for her constituents, she is easy to reach and talk to but most of all she is willing to fight to protect your rights fearlessly, as she has already demonstrated during her previous years as house representative. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, if you know or don’t know her she will still work for you the same way because she truly believes in helping people regardless of who they are. She honestly embraces the good values of Republicanism and she knows how much sacrifice is in every public dollar from the taxpayers and because of this she will vote very conscientious in order to not waste your money, our money. Please join me in supporting, voting and re-electing this amazing woman this coming November.
• Laura Warburton: Karianne has the perfect mixture of conviction and diplomacy. She's effective on the hill now and she'll be effective as an elected state representative.
• Joe Levi: As a Concerned Citizen, I met Karianne when I attended meetings and spoke before the Syracuse City Council. Karianne was faced with a liberal activist mayor who wanted to re-write the City statutes to shift power from elected Councilmembers to mayoral-appointees. Other changes reduced the voice of Councilmembers and Citizens alike. Karianne saw through these attempts and fought to keep the voice of the People with their elected representatives. I later served with Karianne on the Executive Committee of the Davis County Republican Party where she diligently represented her neighbors. Karianne is principled and stands by her convictions. My only regret is that I don't live in her district - otherwise I'd have her sign in my yard, and she could count on my vote on election day.
• Joyce Kinmont: I have known for years that Karianne would be a naturally great legislator. She understands Constitutional principles, she is experienced in city government as a councilwoman and in working with legislators as a citizen lobbyist, and she has courage. So happy to see her running for the Utah State Legislature now! She has our family’s votes.
• TJ Jensen: During my service as a member of the Syracuse City Planning Commission, I've had the opportunity to observe Karianne throughout her service on the Syracuse City Council, in her first as well as second term to which she was recently re-elected. As a Councilwoman, Karianne takes the time to thoroughly research the various issues, and takes the time to meet with concerned citizens as well as our city staff and other involved parties. She also takes the time to reach out to those in other cities facing similar issues, in order to help find the best solutions for our own residents. She works to ensure that matters are dealt with fairly, and that citizen's rights are respected throughout the process. In addition to local city matters, she has continued to keep an eye on several important matters which the State Legislature deals with. Here again she takes the time to research key issues, getting input from fellow citizens as well as those who enact and implement policy, and then shares her own research with our local representatives, while lending her own voice to those citizens which have similar concerns on these issues. She takes her fiscal responsibility as Councilwoman for Syracuse City very seriously. By working together with our other Council members as well as City Staff, they have ensured that Syracuse City Tax dollars are being maximized, being spent responsibly and frugally, all while still meeting the needs of our residents, the City, and it's employees in the process. As a fiscal conservative, she is an excellent voice for the taxpayer, both on a local as well as on the State level. I've been very impressed with Karianne's level-headedness, her wealth of knowledge of various issues, and how she genuinely cares about people, both in her personal life as well as in the public arena. The citizens of Syracuse are indeed fortunate to have Karianne as one of our excellent Council Members here in Syracuse. Based on her record to date, Karianne is an excellent choice as a candidate whom will strongly represent the residents, businesses, and cities which comprise Utah House District 14.
