Final Week of the 2024 Legislative Session

Working for Utah

Over the last 45 days, my colleagues and I have worked tirelessly to make a meaningful difference not only for all of Utah, but for our community. I am deeply proud of the work my colleagues and I have been able to accomplish. From improving public safety, to supporting our incredible educators, to protecting our states many natural resources and so much more, this has truly been a meaningful 45 days For Utah.

Fiscal Responsibility for Utah

Utah has a long history of fiscal responsibility, awarding us accolades from Best Economic Outlook and Overall Best Economy for several years running. Achievements like this would not be possible without our commitment to passing a balanced budget. This year's budget truly is a reflection of what matters to Utah: investing in education, protecting our natural resources, and increasing both housing affordability and housing supply. You can learn more about the budget for fiscal year 2025 here or by listening to this week’s episode of our House podcast. 

Interim Process

Though our 45 day Legislative session may be over, our work is not. As a Legislature, we will spend the next 10 months meeting in our committees, learning about the pressing needs of the state, and preparing for next year’s session. Our first interim meetings of 2024 will take place this coming May. I am your Representative all year long, not just during our 45 day session, and I would love to continue to hear what issues matter to you. You can follow along with the whole process, in person or online at le.utah.gov.  

Tax Relief For Utah

I firmly believe that Utahns deserve to keep more of their hard earned money in their own pockets, which is why the Legislature is continuously committed to reducing taxes. This year, we passed a nearly $170 million tax cut, building upon the $1.3 billion in tax relief we have passed over the last four years. Over time, these sustained, incremental tax cuts have made a real difference for Utah families. You can learn more about this year’s tax reduction here.
