Building a Better Future for Utah
The first two weeks of the 66th Legislature were filled with big wins for Utah! We continued our work to strengthen education by expanding career and technical training, cutting red tape to boost workforce opportunities, and keeping costs low for students and families. We also advanced policies to support Utah’s thriving economy, streamline occupational licensing, and invest in critical infrastructure.
As always, our focus remains on keeping Utah a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Stay tuned for more updates as we keep moving forward and follow along with the process at le.utah.gov.
My Bills
This week has been a busy one, as I was able to present four of my bills in committee! I’m working hard to keep up with the high demands of my constituents, advocating for policies that promote respect, safety, and the well-being of all Utahns. My bills include:
- HB269 – Privacy Protections in Sex-designated Areas
- HB81 – Fluoride Amendments
- HB69 – Ballot Information Accessibility Amendments
- HB29 – Child Visitation Amendments
I remain committed to ensuring every voice is heard and pushing for meaningful changes that strengthen our communities. It’s an honor to serve, and I will continue working tirelessly on behalf of the people I represent!
Supporting Opportunities for K-12 Students
As a Legislature, we’re expanding opportunities for K-12 students by reducing financial burdens and increasing access to career and technical education. Last session, we eliminated school fees for coursework, and this year, we’re enhancing individualized learning options to set students up for success. With Utah leading in education outcomes per dollar spent, my colleagues and I are committed to empowering students, parents, and educators with more choices for a brighter future.
Keeping Utah Business Friendly
This session, we’re fostering economic prosperity by supporting business-friendly policies and cutting red tape. By streamlining occupational licensing through the new Office of Professional Licensure Review, we’re removing barriers that keep qualified workers on the sidelines. We’re tackling workforce shortages, increasing job opportunities, and ensuring Utah remains a top state for business and innovation.

Leading the Nation in Fiscal Responsibility
Balancing the state budget is one of our most important constitutional duties, and Utah stands out as the only state where all 104 lawmakers take part in the budgeting process. The House and Senate passed the base budget, ensuring funding for key areas across our state. Over the next several weeks, my colleagues and I will continue refining the budget to keep Utah on a strong financial path.
