National Police Week is a time to honor the law enforcement officers who have given their lives in service to others, and to thank the men and women who continue to answer the call every day.

Utah ranks #1 in fiscal stability and #1 in economic outlook, but there’s more work to do.
One year ago, we launched GRIT: Government Reform, Innovation & Transparency, to make state government more efficient, more accountable, and more responsive to the Utahns we serve.
Since then, agencies across Utah have identified commonsense improvements that save taxpayer dollars and deliver better service.
We’re building on what works and fixing what doesn’t. That’s GRIT.
For the first time in years, Utah saw a statewide decline in homelessness.
This news reflects a sustained investment, stronger coordination between state and local partners, and a human-first approach focused on accountability, treatment, and long-term stability.
There is still more work ahead.

I was honored to welcome the North Sanpete girls volleyball team to the Capitol and celebrate their 2025 3A state championship.
My favorite part was hearing the way they talked about each other. They calmed each other’s nerves. They carried the pressure together. And they cheered for their teammates as much as themselves.
What an amazing team.

Each year, tens of thousands of people use the Colorado River Trail, but a missing connection has forced bikers and pedestrians onto a narrow stretch of highway with little room to move safely.
UDOT is closing that gap and beginning a larger statewide effort to build paved trail connections that work for residents, visitors, and future generations.
Grateful for the chance to spend time with state employees from Grand and San Juan counties yesterday.
Utah is one of the best managed states in the nation because of the people who show up every day to serve. These public servants solve problems, strengthen trust in government and make a difference for Utahns through steady, dedicated work.
Thank you for all you do for Utah.
