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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Saddened to hear of the passing of an extraordinary American, President George H. W. Bush. Grateful for his patriotism and long life of service.

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!

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.
