  1. The only ones who benefit from this decision are our adversaries in the region, Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. We are working with the administration to see if we can change this policy to one that will protect our vital interest in the region.

  2. Though we have always maintained a very small footprint in Syria, we have had a huge impact on humanitarian, political and military objectives. Most troubling, if we withdraw, we leave our allies exposed and in a weakened position.

  3. I believe the President’s new policy on Syria is a mistake. Having been to the region many times, working with our partners to bring stability to a very important part of the world, I believe it’s critical for America and our allies to remain engaged.

  4. The Senate is proposing a short-term funding measure through February 8. This is a betrayal of conservative policy and, as a member of the Appropriations Committee, I will not support the status quo. Kicking the can down the road hurts Utah priorities.

  5. Utahns expect the federal government to fulfill its mandate to provide border security while keeping the government open and operating. I am working on striking a deal that accomplishes both.

  6. Today I joined a group of bi-partisan legislators urging the President to prioritize funding for programs that focus on mental illness, substance use disorder, and suicide prevention.

  8. Yesterday, my legislation honoring Anwar Sadat was signed by the President. Sadat's bravery and dedication to peace deserve much more than a Congressional Gold Medal, but I’m grateful that we can honor him and his everlasting legacy.

  9. My sage-grouse and mule deer legislation is headed to the President's desk. This legislation is something conservationists and sportsmen can both celebrate.

    California is a tinderbox. Drought, warm temperatures, infestations, poor forest management, expanding wildland-urban interface, & many other factors have made the western US more prone to fire. BUT there's something we can do about it. Read ->

  16. My family and I are deeply saddened by the passing of my good friend Jim Hansen. He had an enormous influence upon me, my family and my extended family as well. He was a patriot, warrior and statesmen. There's no one in politics that I loved or respected more. We will miss him!

  17. Heartbroken to hear of the passing of Mayor Taylor. He served our nation and Utah with honor. Forever grateful for those who sacrifice for our freedoms. Praying for his family and loved ones.

  18. Too many of us have experienced the tragic loss of life and heartbreak that results from suicide. I'm proud to co-sponsor this bipartisan legislation with that focuses on a better way to track and monitor self-harm and suicidal behavior.

  19. Humbled to join the Chabad Lubavitch synagogue for an interfaith vigil this evening to stand and support our Jewish brothers and sisters. We pray for peace and harmony during these trying times.

  20. Utah stands with the Jewish community. We will never let you stand alone against bigotry and hate. Heartbroken. Fearful for our country. Far too much anger and hatred in our society. All of us can do better. All of us.
