The Olympics has long been a symbol of unity and the celebration of athletes. However, the recent opening ceremony turned into a mockery of religious beliefs, fostering division when solidarity is most needed. The disrespect shown to the Last Supper is unacceptable and undermines the spirit of the Games, damaging the event's integrity. The IOC members responsible for approving this should issue a public apology. Looking ahead to 2034, we are committed to showcasing Utah's remarkable people, stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. We will honor athletes' achievements and create a lasting impact that resonates with and inspires audiences for generations to come.

Today, we lost an extraordinary stateswoman and one of our dearest friends. Sen. Karen Mayne was a trailblazer and exceptional leader who showed us how working together, despite political differences, can strengthen our state. We will forever be grateful for the years we were lucky enough to spend working alongside Sen. Mayne. During this time, we witnessed her unwavering dedication, compassion and grace in serving the people of Utah. Not only was she a confidant of ours but also a source of inspiration, both personally and professionally. Throughout her 15 years as a senator, she has passionately and successfully advocated for impactful improvements for our state. She was one of the most effective legislators and consistently passed the most bills during sessions. We mourn with and pray for her family during this time of grieving. Her memory and legacy will remain forever in our hearts as we strive to follow her example of living and serving with love. @SenatorLuz

➡️ 70% of Utah’s land is federally controlled, compared to less than 1% in Connecticut and New York. ➡️ Of this, 18.5 million acres are unappropriated without a designated purpose. Utah should be the primary guardian of its lands, supported by the federal government—not the other way around. That is why Utah filed a lawsuit asking the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on whether the federal government can indefinitely hold unappropriated lands within a state without any designated purpose. Importantly, this lawsuit will not affect the millions of appropriated acres that already have designated purposes, such as national parks and monuments. Last week, we submitted an amicus brief to further support this action, sending a clear message: state-led stewardship is essential to preserving public lands and ensuring they remain open and accessible to everyone. #utpol #utleg
“We must ensure that Utah remains an incredible place for our children and our grandchildren to live, work and play for years to come.” Our state is taking significant steps toward preserving and restoring Utah’s land with a landmark public lands lawsuit. The purpose is to end unconstitutional federal control and regain stewardship over 18.5 million acres of unappropriated land from the BLM. If successful, it will pave the way for improved management of public lands, providing every Utahn with the opportunity to experience all that our beautiful state has to offer.

Earlier today, former media member Bryan Schott published a blog post that failed to include information from the Lt. Governor’s Office or those named in the story before publishing the blog. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this has occurred; it is part of a troubling pattern of neglectful journalism that undermines the profession's integrity, which is one of the cornerstones of our republic. As someone who claims to be a journalist, it is disappointing to see such a lack of professionalism. Sending a request for comment and immediately publishing the story is irresponsible and reflects a disregard for accurate reporting. The story is not only misleading but factually inaccurate. Had he taken the time to get facts from the Lt. Governor’s Office or allowed those named in the blog a chance to respond, he would have learned that the information was accurately reported and in compliance with the statute with no attempt to skirt the law. Instead, he published an inaccurate and misleading blog that omits critical details and essential context. Last year, following an inquiry by the Lt. Governor’s Office into how I reported certain transactions on my disclosure report, I received an email confirming I was “compliant with state disclosure law.” I have relied on this guidance as I continued to report transactions. This fall, the Lt. Governor’s Office conducted a further inquiry into my disclosure report. After their review, I received an email stating that “no further action is required on your part until we have adequately reviewed the relevant statutes.” Last week, the Lt. Governor’s Office issued clarifying instructions to all candidates and officeholders, providing better instructions and requirements on how to disclose transactions. The letter indicated they will begin implementing these new requirements beginning in January 2025. I have always been, and remain, fully committed to complying with campaign disclosure requirements. Additionally, I will adhere to the updated guidelines issued by the Lt. Governor’s Office last week. The claim that I failed to follow campaign disclosure requirements is not just inaccurate but a blatant falsehood. This is nothing more than misleading rhetoric, with Alliance for Better Utah once again resorting to desperate fundraising efforts built on misinformation. These kinds of deceitful tactics are intended to distract from the real work of improving our state. #utpol #utleg

The Utah Supreme Court’s new interpretation created uncertainty and ambiguity. This amendment provides a path for Utahns to weigh in and make their voices heard. To be clear, the proposed amendment restores the over 100-year-old effect of citizen initiatives.

Additionally, it prohibits foreign entities from contributing to ballot propositions, adding safeguards against undue influence. #utpol #utleg

We are saddened to announce that President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has died. After a recent brief hospital stay, he returned to his home where he attended to duties as he was able to before passing away at approximately 11:15 p.m. on Sunday, November 12, 2023, surrounded by loved ones. He was 95. newsroom.churchofjesuschrist…

Wearing a mask can save lives. Please join me in wearing a mask whenever social distancing is not possible. Together, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep Utah open. #MaskUpUtah #utpol
Senate leadership demonstrated the importance of wearing masks during the special session. Wearing a face mask is a simple and effective way to protect Utahns who are vulnerable and slow the spread of COVID-19. #MaskUpUtah #utpol 📸 @benwinslow

Every Utahn carries cherished memories surrounding our great outdoors. For me, nothing is better than hiking outside next to a beautiful stream with kids and grandkids, enjoying the breathtaking beauty of our state. We are deeply connected to the land—it defines us as Utahns. But now, that connection is being threatened by bureaucrats who believe they can care for our land better than we can.   Our state has made significant progress today by initiating a groundbreaking public lands lawsuit and petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to address the issue of whether the federal government can indefinitely hold unappropriated land within a state. By allowing Utah to better manage our lands with assistance from the federal government, we enable all Utahns, regardless of age or ability, to fully experience and appreciate the beauty and opportunities that Utah has to offer.   #standforourland #utpol

I had the privilege to #StandWithUkraine in tonight’s rally at the Capitol. As I learn about the brave Ukrainians who are protecting their kids & grandkids, I reflect on my own family & the freedoms I have at home. We must stand together and do what we can to support Ukraine.

This morning, I had the opportunity to tour the new monoclonal antibody treatment center in Murray. These centers will help reduce hospitalizations & save lives. I appreciate healthcare workers for their continued dedication to providing the best care to their patients. #utpol

I always love having my grandkids join me on the dais to watch the legislative process. Though being a state legislator is an incredible honor, being a grandparent is even better. #utpol #utleg

#SCOTUS got it right blocking Biden’s vaccine mandate for large businesses. While this is a step in the right direction, I’m disappointed the Court didn't give healthcare workers the opportunity to make their own health choices. Govt shouldn’t mandate health decisions. #utpol

It was a privilege to welcome @GovRonDeSantis to Utah. It is always great to host leaders from other states. I look forward to growing the camaraderie between our two states as we continue to stand up for American values.

Today, we broke ground on Porter Rockwell Boulevard at The Point in Draper. As one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, Utah is making a big step forward with this development. With thousands of jobs, much-needed housing, and world-class amenities on the horizon, this project will shape Utah's future for generations. This milestone represents years of careful planning focused on benefiting Utahns, fostering responsible growth and enhancing our state's position as an economic and innovation hub.

New data shows Utah is coming out ahead, even during a pandemic. By pushing to keep our state open during the early months of #COVID19, Utah’s economy was able to quickly recover, with our state tax revenue up +8.0%. #utpol nyti.ms/3sBc8sW

Congratulations to @BYU on the unveiling of their new medical school. This marks a significant step in advancing our state’s exceptional healthcare education and expands opportunities for future medical professionals. The medical school will enhance the humanitarian work the Church of Jesus Christ has done around the world. BYU has been an excellent partner in education, and I look forward to seeing the impact it will make in our healthcare industry in Utah and worldwide. deseret.com/faith/2024/07/29…

The data overwhelmingly shows vaccines are working. I encourage all hesitant Utahns to consider getting the vaccine. I strongly believe in personal choice and advocate for all to exercise this right when it comes to vaccines. #utpol

It has been a remarkable session. We worked with foresight to make decisions that will positively impact generations – ensuring we put Utahns first. We focus on what can be done today while looking to the future, creating long-lasting and enduring prosperity for all Utahns and our state as a whole. #utpol #utleg
