Dear Friends & Constituents,

We passed more than 500 bills in just 45 days, paving the way for $29 billion in funding and meaningful legislation that will have a positive impact on Utah residents. I was humbled and grateful to be a part of the process, and I can’t thank you enough for your support along the way. Here’s a closer look at what we accomplished.
