RUtah’s pro-business environment continues to invite large investments that support economic growth and bring jobs to our rural communities. Great touring Nortonville Rail’s steel processing center in Nephi to see firsthand Utah-grown innovation in steel manufacturing. https://t.co/kaHTzKA1Um
Utah is home to thousands of veteran-owned businesses—many of which play a critical role in supporting our defense industrial base. Enjoyed touring Straight Jacket Armory, which recently set up shop in Nephi, to see how they are supporting various U.S. military units, including Special Operations Forces and Navy SEAL programs.
American manufacturers shouldn't have to navigate conflicting rules on recycled materials. My Recycled Materials Attribution Act would establish clear standards, protect consumers from misleading claims, and give businesses certainty to invest in new recycling innovations. https://t.co/AGoJjueSmy
I commend the Administration for taking the allegations involving Ambassador Guilfoyle seriously. Public service is a public trust, and political connections should never put anyone above accountability. I appreciate President Trump’s willingness to act. That's the kind of leadership Americans are yearning for.
Government regulations can disproportionately burden small businesses, which represent 99% of companies in Utah. It’s critical that the regulatory environment is productive, targeted, and efficient. Great to be with the Intermountain Business Alliance to share an update from Washington and learn from our business community.

Protecting communities from catastrophic wildfires requires more than just fighting fires once they start. We need experts from every field working together to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions. Great to sit down with wildfire experts and Utah leaders to discuss better forest management, wildfire prevention, and recovery efforts that will help our communities prepare for future fires.

Utah continues to play a leading role in advancing global health through research, innovation, and humanitarian work. Appreciated joining leaders at the University of Utah to discuss the future of global health, including the threats that the burgeoning national debt poses to economic stability and our ability to help.
October is Gate Safety Month, an important reminder that large, improperly secured gates can pose serious risks to families and communities. Our bipartisan Alex Gate Safety Act would establish uniform safety standards and raise awareness of these dangers to help prevent future tragedies.

Access to affordable housing is essential for Utah families and our growing communities. It was great to get to meet with R6 Regional Council and tour some homes being built through their Build Your Own Home program, which helps families achieve homeownership. https://t.co/wH6EjFQILF
Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment. Secretary Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood execution risks feeding that appetite. The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity. Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent. I urge him to reconsider.
Highs and lows coming to you from a “good” fire. https://t.co/wpTTYt0otT
Utah’s aerospace and defense industry is vital to our national security. Enjoyed touring ES3’s Clearfield facilities and meeting with employees whose work supports Hill Air Force Base and keeps our military mission-ready. https://t.co/bRzscTx7ZW
Proactive forest management is essential to reducing wildfire risk and protecting our communities. Great joining a controlled burn in Fishlake National Forest to see firsthand how these efforts help maintain healthy forests and protect against future wildfires. https://t.co/x2AK644Izj
Better methane monitoring means stronger energy security, more efficient production, and a healthier environment. My bipartisan bill with @SenatorHick will help us make better use of existing technologies to detect methane leaks and give energy producers the information they need without adding new regulations. https://t.co/35nISWEzwt
Three years ago, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack against Israel, murdering innocent civilians, including children, and taking hostages. Today, we remember the lives stolen on October 7 and the families forever changed by that horrific attack. We must never forget how this war began, remain clear-eyed about the threat posed by terrorism, and continue working toward lasting peace and security.
Great meeting with Richfield City Manager Michele Jolley and the Sevier County Commission to discuss wildfire preparedness, the opportunities and challenges surrounding data centers, and the need to protect Utah’s water resources while supporting continued economic growth. https://t.co/PHr5TARcqW
The current death benefit does not reflect the sacrifice of a fallen firefighter or the debt we owe their loved ones. Our bipartisan bill ensures these families receive the same level of support we provide to the families of fallen military servicemembers.https://t.co/3hoJLyQrKF
America should be able to build critical infrastructure without getting stuck in outdated federal processes. I’m glad to see my bill to bring environmental reviews into the digital age be included in the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act. It will help projects move through permitting with greater speed and transparency. https://t.co/3fmtt2GimP
Utah’s continued growth brings big opportunities and challenges that require strong coordination at every level. Enjoyed meeting with @GovCox, members of Utah’s congressional delegation, and state leaders for a discussion convened by @RepMikeKennedy on preparations for the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, wildfire policy, emerging technology, and Utah’s long-term water needs.
Seeing the war from Kharkiv firsthand made one thing clear: this is not the war many Americans think it is. Ukraine is proving to be a capable partner to the United States, and the Ukrainians are making meaningful progress against Russia. Ukrainians are our friends. Putin is not. https://t.co/a4kvkwbtm1
Going rogue on highs and lows this morning. https://t.co/4n4h3Qd022
The pioneers didn’t let water constraints define Utah's future. Neither should we. While conservation is essential, saving the Great Salt Lake will require the same bold, visionary thinking demonstrated by our ancestors. https://t.co/zbL116LFSC
