While Rep. Jay Cobb Jr. describes himself as a stalwart conservative, he plans to be a different brand of conservative than is common in the Utah Legislature.
"To me, I think the difference is in approach," Cobb told KSL.com last month. "I'm not the bombastic bomb-thrower who's always coming after those I disagree with and those in the media. I want to be more thoughtful. But, I'm unabashedly a conservative. I'm not going to claim anything else, because that's where my political views are."
"Honestly, I think all policy issues we should be working across the aisle. My intent is to talk with everyone. Obviously, from strict political ideology we may differ, but I would at least want to reach out and have those conversations where there's common ground," he said. "So I can't single out a policy issue because I think it would be the wrong approach to say I'm only going to talk to Democrats on these particular issues.
That was the promise I made when I was campaigning, that I'd be thoughtful. That I wouldn't be so arrogant to think I know it all, and to really become a thoughtful, deliberate and careful legislator.Through the first half of the legislative session, Cobb has already shown a willingness to ask sincere questions, and has given thoughtful consideration to important bills.
