Daich said that due to the challenges that now face Davis County, residents need to elect someone with more than just office management experience. We need to elect a professional.

By conducting a survey of the parents, it could be determined what needs they wish the schools to fill. Our school support staff and materials must be improved to provide quality education. Byron believes that the schools are an extension of the parents training of their children. The parents must have a say in what is to be provided by the schools to their children. I believe that the schools must be exciting places of learning. Places where the students are excited to go each day. Places where e they are shown the depth of available today, and how it can be applied to solve the problems of the world. Some children today are depressed because they see all the problems of the world, and it seems they can do nothing about them. That depression can be overcome by showing the range of knowledge in the world today, and how proper application can solve the problems. The process of learning must be taught, not just the facts. What man has created or cause can be undone or corrected by man with the application of knowledge. This is what I see as the role of schools in todays society.

Holt also thought that the issue of diking the Great Salt Lake was not over and that it was likely that it would be considered again in the next session. "The lake has continued to defy the experts and the lake has not receded in July as expected. If we have only 120 percent of normal rainfall, it is likely that the pumping project will fail and that diking would be the only other feasible remedy, he said. Holt sponsored several other major pieces of legislature in his first term, among them a bill requiring warning labels on smokeless tobacco products. He served on the education and health standing committee, the judicial and social services interim committees and higher education appropriation committee.
