Building a Stronger Future for Utah

Things have begun to amp up as we approach the halfway mark of the 2025 legislative session. Every day this week my colleagues and I have hit the ground running, meeting on the House oor to discuss, debate, and pass legislation that will have a positive impact on Utah’s future. We’re pushing forward legislation to bolster our energy infrastructure, expand opportunities in higher education, and secure our state’s vital water resources. Make sure you continue to follow along with the process by reading my newsletters, connecting with me on social media, or watching live streams of our meetings at le.utah.gov.

 

 

My Initiative to Promote Transparency
As your Representative, I am proud to serve the people of Iron County and District 71. I firmly believe elected officials work for the people that put them in office. Therefore, you, the people, should have more say in the decisions that affect your daily lives. That’s why I’m running H.B. 408: School Board Amendments, which ensures voters have a voice on significant local issues.

 

 

Advocates for Our Community
I am always grateful to escape from meetings for the chance to meet so many passionate individuals and groups advocating for causes that strengthen our community. Shoutout to the Cedar City Youth Council, Parowan Youth Coalition, SUU students from the Leavitt Center, Canyon Creek Services, and every constituent who stopped by the Capitol to meet with me. Thank you for your dedication and engagement!

 

 

Legislative Updates

This week, I presented four important pieces of legislation in different House Committees:

  • H.B. 141: Adoption Modifications – This bill has been passed through the House and is now with the Senate to be introduced and assigned a committee.
  • H.B. 104: Firearm Safety Amendments – Passed through the House Education Committee and has been placed on the 3rd reading calendar.
  • H.B. 240: Urban Farming Amendments – Held In Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee for further deliberation.
  • H.B. 153: Hunting Amendments – Passed through the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee to now move to the House floor.

It’s an honor to represent you and work on policies that will strengthen our community. As always, I am here to listen and advocate for what matters most to you. Thank you for your continued support!

 

 

I would love to hear from you!

    This is the Washington County Noxious Weeds Supervisor and we as the Utah Weed Supervisor’s Association will be doing a training/tourn in Southern Utah the 15th and 16th of July. Amber Hatch the Iron County Noxious Weeds Supervisor and I have both been very involved in the agenda of this summer training and tour.

    We would especially like to invite you to attend the tour on Wednesday the 16th with us and a lunch from Jimmy John’s will be provided ending at Wood Ranch. Please let me know how we might send an email with an attached agenda. The event is not posted on our website, but I’ve attached a link to it. We’ll see if we can post the event there.

    Please let us know if you’ll be able to attend and if any others you might think of who we might invite?

    Thank you,
