Former governors
As Americans struggle with the rising cost of gas, groceries, housing, and health care, President Trump's priorities for taxpayer dollars are completely detached from the challenges families face every day.
I think there will be a robust group of people running for president. I will not be one of them in 2028.
The American people deserve to know the true costs of this conflict, and they deserve transparency and honesty when their government commits the nation to war.
Gov. Cox, Utahns are paying attention.
What we’re looking at is CSP, the Conservation Stewardship Program … we want to make $100 million of that eligible, on an annual basis, for a match for this kind of program.
These indiscriminate, unjust, unconstitutional deportation efforts — while we have not been a target state — both parties are unhappy.
New Mexico has, frankly, everything to offer.
This settlement means farmers in the Lower Rio Grande can plan for the future, communities have certainty about their water supply and New Mexicans aren’t on the hook for a liability that could have cost billions.
Water is the foundation of New Mexico’s agricultural economy and the lifeblood of communities across the southern part of our state.
This agreement would have mandated that Tulsa’s laws were to be enforced based on race.
If everyone, for example, in Ohio that is getting this kind of care, home health care, had to be in a nursing home, that would have cost us about $600 million a year.

Being the Governor of a small state means I have the opportunity to hear the voices others don’t.
These challenges call for clear direction and decisive leadership—and my budget reflects both.
My commitments to Rhode Islanders are clear: putting more money back in families’ pockets, protecting the most vulnerable from President Trump’s safety net cuts, and keeping Rhode Island building to support good-paying jobs and long-term…
While the Trump Administration’s policies have pushed the price of household goods to new levels at the same time that Congressional Republicans’ policies have slashed our country’s safety net, family budgets need real relief now—that's…
The rising cost of living is creating real hardships for families nationwide.
Good-paying jobs are the key to a strong economy, and we’ll continue to make strategic investments and create more opportunities for our state.
Rhode Island is a destination location for growing businesses like the Motor Club Insurance Company, and I’m proud of the work we’ve done to attract and retain top-tier companies and talented professionals.
Leaving no one behind isn't just a slogan—it is the guiding principle of how we govern.
This tour is a testament to what we can achieve when local and state leaders come together to rebuild, and support our neighbors in need.
