Over the past six years, the Senate has worked to improve the lives of Utahns, delivering real results that empower families, strengthen communities and drive Utah forward on a positive trajectory by:

“With the nation’s strongest economy, the best state for the middle class, the best economic outlook and the happiest, most charitable people, Utah stands as a beacon of hope,” said President J. Stuart Adams. “This doesn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of careful foresight and strategic growth. However, we have more work to do. As the Senate, we will continue crafting sound policies that ensure Utahns and our great state thrive for generations to come.”
