RSix elections in three years, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to earn the trust of Utahns. From working alongside Utah farmers to tackling land and water issues as an attorney and serving in Congress, I’ve learned that good solutions start with showing up, listening, and getting to work. Thank you for your continued support. I’m ready to keep fighting for our land, our water, and Utah’s future. As ballots arrive in homes this week, I’d be honored to earn your vote.
Thank you to the Utah County Republican Women for having me as your guest speaker today. I appreciate everyone who showed up, asked questions, and engaged in this forum! https://t.co/zZ9ngwI2nD
The Constitution’s division of power wasn’t an accident. The Founders understood that the people closest to an issue are often best equipped to solve it. This Constitution Day, federalism remains just as important to our system of government as it was at the founding, especially for states like Utah. More in the Deseret News: https://t.co/u3bKR1xwho
On 9/11, we remember those we lost and honor those who answered the call to serve. Our office is here to help Utah veterans and their families navigate VA benefits, delayed claims and appeals, records requests, survivor benefits, and other issues with federal agencies. If you’re having trouble getting the benefits or answers you’ve earned, please reach out to my office.
Twenty-five years ago, our nation was attacked and changed forever. I remember trying to make sense of it all as a young college student. I also remember being in awe of those heroes rushing toward danger and risking their lives to save others. May we never forget the innocent lives taken and the families who carry that loss every day. Today I honor the memory of those lives lost, those heroes, and those who fought to protect our nation.
One year ago, Charlie Kirk was violently killed in Utah in front of a crowd of young people and supporters. Charlie ignited a generation's passion and love for our country. My prayers are with his wife and children today, as well as everyone who was impacted by that traumatizing day. I hope we can honor his memory by rejecting political violence, defending the free exchange of ideas, and engaging in honest, earnest debate.
Big news for Beaver County: @USDA is investing $25 million to expand Milford Mining’s copper and mineral production, supporting around 100 new jobs in the community. Utah has the resources and the workforce to strengthen America’s mineral supply chains right here at home. This investment means more rural jobs, more American-made minerals, and less reliance on foreign supply chains. https://t.co/ADbISb8FRX

Utah ranchers need competitive markets, more processing options, and the freedom to get their products to consumers. President Trump’s new executive actions take steps toward each of those goals by strengthening Packers and Stockyards enforcement, expanding interstate sales of inspected meat, supporting small and very small processors, and cutting unnecessary regulatory burdens. They also address wolf predation and direct a review of mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef. Taken together, these actions mean more options for producers, stronger competition, and greater opportunity for ranchers and rural communities across Utah. https://t.co/XXkg3nPKFD
Following the severe windstorm that caused significant damage in Lynndyl, community members are gathering today at 1:00 PM at Lynndyl City Park (50 E Center) to help with cleanup efforts and come together in support of our neighbors. Sharing this so our neighbors in Millard County are aware of today’s community cleanup effort.
I’m grateful for all those already working to clean up, support their neighbors, and get the community back on its feet.
Our district is full of amazing people! I am grateful for the park rangers, first responders, and local agencies who worked together to rescue 11 hikers stranded by flash flooding at Bryce Canyon this week. As monsoon storms continue across southern Utah, please check conditions, follow warnings, and recreate responsibly. https://t.co/WReB6uXFrI
I enjoyed a little picnic table politics in Morgan County! Thank you to everyone who joined us to share your priorities and discuss the issues facing the community. https://t.co/VI6JVfIYDL
My phone keeps ringing because ranchers who are unhappy about increased imports of foreign beef are calling for help. I hear you. President Trump is focused on keeping beef affordable for American families. Utah ranchers are ready to be part of the solution. They’ve weathered tough years, innovated, and kept producing some of the best beef in America. I’m confident that Utah beef producers would love to work with the President on America-first policies that strengthen our ranchers and put American beef on American tables.
I had a great time joining Kane County Republicans as we gear up for the general election. I look forward to earning your vote and supporting our outstanding Republican candidates this November! https://t.co/YN2whMFuv8
Scams targeting our seniors in Utah have been on the rise. I recently met with the Utah Chamber of Commerce to discuss solutions, and we are getting to work to protect against these scams. I am working to pass the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act to better dismantle and find those who are scamming Utahns. https://t.co/Cv8MMNjlky
Thank you to the elected officials in Daggett County who took time to discuss the unique issues affecting their corner of eastern Utah. I also got the chance to see some big changes coming to Daggett County, with the installation of only the second elevator in the county’s history!
It’s great to be in Duchesne County anytime I can meet with local elected officials and voters. With 19 counties in Utah’s new 3rd Congressional District, each county will need someone who shows up, listens, and works for the county’s priorities. I look forward to visiting more of you, hearing your concerns, and earning your vote.
Beaver County is resilient, and its people are hard-working. It’s going to take some time, but Beaver County will recover, and I will keep working to ensure it has the resources and support it needs to come back stronger. We also need to keep working to change how we manage public lands so the cycle of fires and floods doesn’t continue. https://t.co/LQ1YBYV8bq
Happy Pioneer Day! One hundred seventy-nine years ago, Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake Valley and declared, “This is the place.” In Utah, we are the descendants of pioneers and patriots. Their legacy of hard work, sacrifice, and service continues to shape who we are as Utahns. I am incredibly grateful to call Utah home, and I am honored to represent the greatest state in the nation. Utah truly is the place, and I look forward to honoring and celebrating those pioneers and patriots today!
Washington, D.C. — The Utah federal delegation welcomes President Trump's action modifying the boundaries of the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments. This decision represents a return to an appropriate application of the Antiquities Act as Congress intended. When Congress passed the Antiquities Act in 1906, it authorized presidents to protect historic and scientific objects by reserving only "the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected." The law was never intended to place millions of acres under monument designation with the stroke of a pen. For years, Utahns have voiced concerns that these monument designations were made without meaningful input from the local communities most directly affected. This updated designation better reflects the perspectives of stakeholders in Utah whose voices should be part of decisions affecting these public lands. The lands outside the modified monument boundaries remain federal public lands and continue to be protected under existing federal laws. Today's action does not remove those protections. Instead, it better aligns the monument boundaries with the Antiquities Act while ensuring these landscapes remain available for responsible stewardship and multiple use. The president’s action represents a step toward restoring the rule of law, respecting the intent of Congress, protecting Utah's remarkable cultural and natural resources, and ensuring that future land management decisions are guided by both the text of the Antiquities Act and the voices of the Utahns who know these lands best. Quotes: Sen. Mike Lee: “Today’s proclamation shows that President Trump listens to Utahns and respects the limits Congress placed on the Antiquities Act. For too long, presidents have weaponized monument designations to lock up millions of acres, close roads, restrict grazing, and cut rural communities off from lands their families have lived on and worked for generations. I thank the President for correcting this abuse and keeping his promise to the people of Utah.” Sen. John Curtis: “President Trump’s executive action restores a more balanced approach to managing Utah’s public lands and shows a willingness by this Administration to listen to the state of Utah. While today’s announcement is an important step in the right direction and a more appropriate interpretation of the Antiquities Act, the responsibility remains with Congress to do what executive orders cannot: bring stakeholders together, work through disagreements, and enact lasting solutions. This approach worked in Emery County, which serves as a strong example to build on.” Rep. Burgess Owens: "The Antiquities Act is crystal clear: presidential designations meant to protect objects should be 'confined to the smallest area compatible' with the proper care and management of those objects. That mandate was ignored. The mess started with Bill Clinton, who acted from a seat in Arizona with his back turned to Utah. It was compounded by Barack Obama in the waning hours of his presidency. Together, they created monuments larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined which is an unmistakable violation of the 'smallest area compatible' standard. I am grateful for President Trump's actions today, and for his willingness to listen to the Utah communities who cherish and honor these landscapes. Utah deserves leaders who respect the rule of law. Today, accountability prevailed." Rep. Blake Moore: “This has, unfortunately, become a back-and-forth issue between administrations. Today’s announcement takes into consideration years of local concern over restricted access and misuse of the Antiquities Act while still protecting our state’s natural and cultural resources for future generations. If the Antiquities Act is going to be used, it needs to be on the smallest area possible—that’s what we’re doing here.” Rep. Celeste Maloy: "Utahns have long supported protecting our state's extraordinary cultural and natural resources. This action honors that goal while following the law Congress passed and giving greater consideration to the people who know these lands best.”
