What a great morning celebrating a big step forward for Utah! BNSF Railway has officially expanded intermodal rail service into Salt Lake City—in partnership with Patriot Rail and the Utah Inland Port Authority. This investment means more shipping options for Utah businesses,

I had the chance to try my hand at team penning for the first time this weekend — and I think I might be hooked. I couldn’t have asked for better teammates/coaches. Thanks Jared Lesh and Kash VanTassell. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it — thank you for letting me be part

Forest management works!!.

Utah has five major oil refineries right in our own backyard — so why are we still paying more at the pump than most of the country? As other states see summer relief, Utah drivers are facing rising gas prices. It doesn’t add up, and Utah families are feeling the squeeze. A few

Thank you, Secretary Rollins, for making the bold move to shift USDA operations out of Washington, D.C. and into the communities they’re meant to serve. This is smart government — more local, more accountable, and a better use of taxpayer dollars. Utah is proud to be one of just

For those wanting to know more, Bar-W is located in Nephi. And, they offer free, next-day shipping for Utah residents.

Yesterday, I had the chance to visit Bar-W Beef, and I was so impressed. 🙌🏼. Korey and Emily Wright saw a need in our state for local food processing and stepped up to fill it. What they've built is incredible – a modern, USDA-inspected facility with advanced technology, an

This Independence Day, let’s celebrate more than our nation’s freedom — let’s celebrate what makes Utah truly independent. According to WalletHub’s June 2025 ranking, Utah leads the nation as the #1 Most Independent State. Utah’s spirit of resourcefulness and resilience are

This session, Utah passed first-in-the-nation bills to make our state healthier: removing supplemental fluoride from public drinking water, banning synthetic food dyes in school lunches, and prohibiting soda purchases using SNAP dollars. I had the chance to talk with

🎙️Had a great conversation with @TVHeidiHatch and Maura Carabello on the Take 2 podcast, diving into some of the biggest headlines making waves in Utah and across the country – from wildfires and unions to public lands and immigration. Listen here ⬇️.🎧

A big win for Utah! For years, federal restrictions have tied our hands by blocking access to millions of acres of forest and preventing the kind of active management we know works. The change will give us the ability to clear hazardous fuels, improve access for firefighters, and

I continue to be upset by Judge Torgerson’s comments and lack of judgment. This week, @RepAngelaRomero and I sent a letter to Chief Justice Durant, urging the Judiciary to investigate the matter thoroughly and take appropriate action. Utahns deserve a system that reflects the

Protests are expected across the state this week. While we recognize the right to assemble, let us be clear: violence and vandalism will not be tolerated. The Governor, in coordination with the Utah Highway Patrol and local law enforcement, has put a comprehensive public safety

This is a win for common sense, economic and energy freedom, and Utah's future. A huge shoutout to @SenMikeLee for championing policies that will lower energy costs for Utah families, allow for more affordable homes by unlocking federal land, and create stronger rural economies.

Growing up in a small town and running a family ranch, I’ve lived the realities of ag, land, and water and how they shape life in Utah. That’s why I joined fellow rural lawmakers in D.C. – to fight for real results for Utah's farmers, ranchers, and families. We pushed for

It’s time for bold nutrition policies that promote healthier choices, self-sufficiency, and reduced dependence on public assistance, while supporting our farmers and ranchers. Utah has already banned the purchase of soda using SNAP funds and removed harmful chemicals from our

The U.S. Supreme Court has finally cleared the way for the Uinta Basin Railway to move forward. This is a huge win for energy independence, job creation, and rural economic growth. For too long, radical environmental activists and out-of-state special interests tried to block

This is deeply troubling and indicative of a broader pattern within the judiciary. Such decisions not only fail to deliver justice for victims— in this case, children — but also erode public confidence in the legal system. Judge Torgerson’s comments and decision are a failure

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at @tooeletech's graduation ceremony. My message extends to all graduates: Go the extra mile. Be the first one to show up and the last one to leave. Solve problems nobody else wants to deal with. That’s how you stand out. That’s how you
