I’ll be perfectly honest. I only think about it once every 10 years.

a deeply troubling act of violence that has no place in our public square.

My heart is broken for everyone impacted tonight.

Thank you to the thousands of protestors who exercised their constitutional rights in the right way tonight.

To our LGBTQ community, I know that recent legislation has been difficult.

I want you to know that I love and appreciate you and I am grateful that you are part of our state.

Politics can be a bit of a blood sport at times and I know we’ve had our disagreements.

Utah is heartened to know the incoming Administration shares our commitments to the principle of ‘multiple use’ for these federal lands.

Mia Love has served Utah with integrity, and her strength and grace continue to inspire us.

I absolutely agree with the surgeon general. And I want to give a quick shout-out to Governor Phil Murphy of New Jersey, who was the former chair of the National Governors Association, who took this issue on as his initiative for a year. We absolutely believe this is the issue of our time. We have seen a 63% increase in persistent loneliness and sadness among young women especially over the past ten to 12 years in the state of Utah. We have seen, again, suicide rates going up, depression, anxiety, self-harm rates skyrocketing. And what we know also is it corresponds with social media becoming ubiquitous and cell phones becoming ubiquitous with our teenagers. Those numbers you cited from the surgeon general are deeply troubling and really sad. We have to take control of this.

I would say that there's still debate in the medical community about whether or not that's actually true.
