THE UTAH AMICUS

Norm Springer ~ Candidate, House District 21

Norm Springer was raised in the Sugar House area and graduated from South High in 1967. He attended Rick’s College for one year before going on a LDS mission to Southern Germany. When Norm returned from his mission he attended Brigham Young University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts (1976), a Master of Education (1981), and also an Education Specialist Degree (1989).

Norm married Dana Nordfelt almost 34 years ago. Together they have raised six adult children ranging from ages 31 to 18, and are now enjoying six grandchildren ranging from ages 7 to 1. Norm and Dana have been residents of District 42 (West Jordan) for over 30 years.

Norm is currently teaching sixth grade students at Highland Elementary in the Alpine School District, after already retiring from the Jordan School District as an elementary principal and teacher. Norm is also a former adjunct instructor at Salt Lake Community College Department of Education.

Norm’s hobbies and interests include golf (wish there was time to play more), running (most can beat me in a race – walking), spending time with my wife and other family, and relaxing on the bed with a good novel.

Norm has provided five relevant issues he wants to champion in the legislature:

1. The Legislature needs to increase funding and make a long-term financial commitment to public education and our state colleges and universities.

2. What do residents in the western sections of the Salt Lake Valley think about making the Mountain View Corridor Highway a toll road?

3. All members of the Legislature should be responsive and civil toward the electorate, candidates, and other lawmakers.

4. Those on Medicaid deserve compensation for dental and vision needs. The 2006 Legislature failed to pass a bill allocating 5 million dollars toward this, while granting about 45 million toward the Real soccer stadium in Sandy.

5. Owners of small businesses need a better way to purchase effective, low-cost health insurance for themselves and their employees.
