STEVE ASTE

Candidate for Utah House District 41

Government should be about service to our community, not about career building or personal gain.

Steve Aste at a Glance

Accessibility and open dialogue with the people. I will hold monthly Zoom or in person meetings with all citizens of the 41st District that care to participate.

Work with the State Auditor to ensure our tax dollars are accounted for, spent wisely and spent on what they are intended for.
Water Conservation. With more and more people living in Utah, coupled with recent dry conditions we must prioritize our water conservation.

Help provide good living wage work opportunities for our children.

Use responsible practices while harvesting our natural resources.

Devise strong child protections against AI and Social Media.

Protecting Utah's Future

ELECTIONS
Transparent and Fair

I believe that the government’s main role is to protect our individual rights, freedoms and safety as spelled out in the United States Constitution.

I strongly support the SAVE AMERICA ACT, which in summation states; that to register to vote in Federal Elections you must provide proof of citizenship and show state or federally issued identification at the time of the election.

Please see: H.R. 7296 (Save America Act) of the 119^th Congress (2025-2026)

While acknowledging it is inconvenient, there is widespread voter fraud throughout our nation, including Utah, and steps must be taken to stop it.

Please visit steve.aste on Instagram where I document numerous instances of Universal Mail-In ballot failures.

We are kidding ourselves and wasting our time with this process if many of our key races are being decided for us!

The Utah State Legislature has failed to enact meaningful and effective election laws. Party leadership purposely delayed bringing substantive election reform legislation to a vote this year allowing time to expire resulting in no action. See Utah State Legislature 2026 Bill HB0479

I will fight to repeal SB54

SIGNATURE GATHERING (SB54)

Enacted by the Utah State Legislature in 2014, SB54 allows a candidate to circumvent the Caucus and Convention system entirely by gathering signatures to qualify for the ballot. SB54 has deeply divided the republican party in Utah and has resulted in numerous lawsuits and cases of forged signatures. SB54 has effectively disenfranchised the Caucus and Convention system by allowing candidates with deep pockets to simply hire companies to gather signatures on a candidate’s behalf. The reality is, a candidate is paying his/her way onto the ballot.

Conversations & Actions Necessary to Restore and Save This State & Nation

Secure our Borders (Without secure borders we are no longer a sovereign nation)
Strengthen our Economy
Return to Energy Independence (The ability to produce our own gas, oil and coal)
Ensure Transparent & Fair Elections (This Sacred Institution is severely compromised)
Reject Economic, Social, Governance (ESG)
End Social & Sexual Indoctrination of our Children- Such as; Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) policies.
Ensure Fair Taxes and Pay Off Our Debt
Stand Against the WEF, WHO, UN and the Elitists of the One World Government Agenda

The United States Constitution was inspired by God, many of our local and federal officials, both Republican and Democrat have all but abandoned it. They have abused it, disregarded it and have spat on it. We must have elected officials that are committed to bringing back our constitutional rights and we must hold those accountable that continue to abuse it! (We hold them accountable by voting them out) The people of this state and this nation are dangerously close to losing our freedoms forever. I will honor the constitution and the Liberty and Freedom it brings. Together lets place our trust in God and not in government.

CONSIDER THESE FACTS

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

-Albert Einstein

House District 41 has been held by a democrat for 38 straight years.

The Utah State Legislature is 80% Republican.

61-14 majority in the House & a 23-6 majority in the Senate. By far a veto proof republican majority, a Super Majority. This will not change here in Utah in the foreseeable future..

Will it make a difference in the outcome of a vote at the Utah State Legislature if a democrat is elected to office in HD41 yet again? The answer is NO

Will the usual establishment republican finally break through and win what has perpetually been a liberal stronghold in House District 41? The answer is NO

Will it make a difference in the outcome of a vote, in a Legislature that already has a super majority, if an establish republican is miraculously elected to office in HD41? The answer is NO

Unaffiliated voters make up more than 30% of all registered voters in HD41

Unaffiliated voters are individuals that feel disenfranchised by the establishment faction of both parties, most of them conservative leaning.

I submit to you; it will make a difference to vote for a candidate that has strong conservative values & has also felt disenfranchised by the establishment, as I, and many of you have. If I am so fortunate as to make it to the General Election, I will target and capture the Unaffiliated vote and win this seat. The candidate to do this is Steve Aste!

While voting to uphold and maintain conservative principles, I will provide Transparency and Accountability that not only Unaffiliated voters, but Conservative voters seek.

Just two examples of the many ways this will be accomplished are: I will fight for fairness and transparency in our elections. I will insist on full disclosure and bring to light any conflict-of-interest issues, such as insider land deals (financial gains from land used for the Gondola) etc

About Steve

I started my own construction company while working my way through the University of Utah. That small construction company quickly grew into a General Contracting Firm, which eventually led to some multi-family residential housing projects. I currently own a business that provides services to apartment and condominium communities.

While in the General Contracting business, I was responsible for the creation of hundreds of jobs. I believe in self sufficiency, while I also understand the need for a hand up on occasion. My current service oriented businesses provide entry level jobs for High School and College students in addition to highly skilled technicians. I believe the right way to help people is to mentor and teach them. Giving of oneself, both in time and of resources is the best gift we can provide to others, and by doing so, we bring satisfaction, happiness and sense of purpose to ourselves.

I enjoy spending time with my family, mountain biking, hiking, fly-fishing, going off road in my Jeep, skiing, MMA and a multitude of other activities.

Its about Duty to God & Country

Our Nation, and therefore our State is in serious trouble

If we act now, this State and our Nation will be saved and all that it stands for will be restored.

I am filled with an incredible sense of purpose as it relates to doing my part toward bringing good principles, truth and wisdom back in to governance and our society. Of course, I cannot do it alone and therefore, I ask for your participation and support as we endeavor to do this together.

It infuriates me that so many of our elected officials have strayed from the principles that once defined us. We desperately need our leaders to speak the truth, no matter the consequences, or in spite of the opposition they might face, even at the expense of their very position. I will do just that.

We have tolerated many lies for the sake of getting along or not to offend others. We have allowed ideologies that have been intentionally disguised as righteous justice to invade our schools, our work places and our society.

I will hold myself accountable, I will hold other public officials accountable and I will expect you to hold all public servants accountable.

I (We) must speak the truth, because the truth will always prevail.

OTHER CRITICAL ISSUES

Economy and Inflation

Our economy is largely driven by the availability and cost of energy (natural gas, oil for gasoline and coal). Natural gas to heat our homes, gasoline for our vehicles, trucks that deliver our food and everything else we consume and the coal that is burned to generate our electricity. Just think about it, we need energy for pretty much everything that we do in our daily lives. If these resources are in short supply we simply cannot function efficiently as a people and a nation. Due to the shortage of these critical energy sources the price of everything we consume has been driven to unaffordable prices.

We must provide incentive for our children to pursue vocational employment options as an alternative to higher education. While higher education is a great thing, it is not for everyone. Vocational work includes high paying, high demand jobs such as HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry, Electricians and so forth. Additionally, these jobs do not come with the incredible debt that higher education does. We need to help provide opportunities that can enable our children and grandchildren the ability to make living wages where they can afford a home in the communities that they grew up in.

A Bulging State Budget

Did you know that our State Budget has increased over 30%, from $20B to over $30B in just 4 short years! In the 2025 fiscal year, Utah Taxpayers were stuck with a $1B per/year debt service payment, that’s double the amount from the 2024 fiscal year. That’s a huge increase in the size of our state government. Source: Governor’s 2025 Budget submittal.

If you are like me, you are really feeling the difference every time you go to the grocery store or fill up your vehicles with gas. Our legislature touts the largest state income tax cuts in our history, the reality is, it only amounts to $120.00 per year for the average tax payer in Utah. Inflation is far outpacing our income increases, resulting in far less bang for our buck. What they fail to mention, is that our overall state taxes are the highest of any Red State in the country! This puts Utah on par with the Blue states and the taxes that they are paying.

Taking all this into consideration, our money does not go nearly as far as it did in previos years, and yet our governor and legislature believe that we can afford bigger government here in Utah by an increase in its size exponentially!

Energy Independence

We are dependent on Energy for everything we do and for everything that is produced. This nation under the Trump administration has implemented policies that allow for the extraction of the natural products we need to produce all the energy that is required to run this nation efficiently and effectively. In fact, for the first time in this nation’s history we not only produced all the energy need here at home, but as a nation we were actually exporting energy resources to foreign countries.

Due to the false narrative of climate change many politicians have curtailed the production of these resources we have here at home. We need to ensure that this does not happen again. Our nation is substantially strengthened economically and on the world stage due to our energy production.

The United States Constitution / Federal v States Rights

Thirteen Colonies came together and agreed upon a set of principles and guidelines unlike anything else in the history of the world. This would be like 13 separate countries coming together to agree upon one government, imagine the difficulty in this and the likelihood of failure.

Authority was established in our Constitution where the States retained all the power for their individual governance. Our forefathers knew of the threat of an overreaching national authority and the Constitution was their way of protecting the States and individual rights.

We must continue to reduce the size of our Federal government and along with it the out of control and unaccounted for spending. As a State, we must recapture the authority that the Federal government has stolen.

If our state is so conservative, why does our Legislature keep funding schools that are indoctrinating our children with Socialist, Marxist and Progressive ideologies?

Education

Here in Utah, as well as nationally, our education system and schools have been taken over by far-left liberal ideology. We must put an end to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Critical Race Theory, Social Emotional Learning, Sexual Orientation and Political Indoctrination in our schools. I will NOT coddle and placate these liberal ideologies, and I will fight to end them. These are parental decisions and belong in the HOME, not in the classroom! We must get back to teaching mathematics, reading, writing, history, financial literacy and the truth about our constitution and this nation. It is incomprehensible that our legislature, our school boards and quite honestly, we as parents have let this sickness creep into our young children’s education.

If we give our children over to Caesar it is no wonder they come back Romans

Medical Freedom

MEDICAL FREEDOM & GOVERNMENT MANDATES

The cat is out of the bag as to the origins of Covid-19, we now know with absolute certainty that it was produced with Gain-of- Function research in Wuhan, China funded by the United States government through Anthony Fauci. The American people have been lied too in an unprecedented manner. Under no circumstance should the Government, State or Federal, have any say as to the health matters of the individual. The government has no authority to force mandates masks or vaccines, they have no authority to shut down businesses, schools and churches.

We can never again allow our government and these tyrannical entities to have authority over our health
