Spencer Cox

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

My heart is broken for everyone impacted tonight.

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

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.

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

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

We're still in the process of implementing that. We've sued Meta. We've sued TikTok. We’re taking a page – they've taken a page, sadly, out of the tobacco lobby. They know this is harming our kids. They're covering it up. They're doing…

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…

Every research institution that has looked at this is pointing to social media as the cause.

I must admit, I am not an expert in transgenderism. I struggle to understand much of it and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion.

I would prefer that Congress act. That's where this should happen.

We're going to look back ten years from now and think, 'What did we do? We destroyed a generation of kids with this stuff.'

Ask teenagers, this is one of my favorite things to do. I ask them, 'Are you seeing an increase in your own life, amongst your friends, in your school, in depression, anxiety and self-harm?' And every one of them will say, 'Yes.'

We have to start there. The harm being done to our children far outweighs.

I am running for reelection -- in the state of Utah, yes.

What we're doing is we're increasing funding for our LGBTQ community to help with these issues.

I think there is a choice between the extremes and the exhausted majority, and that's the conversation we've been having this week with Republican governors and Democrat governors coming together.

I understand the frustration that people are feeling right now. And the place that that should be directed is making sure that that we elect people that have the same interests that you do and are interested in maybe changing those maps…

People have to be held accountable and, yes, that includes the president.

People are to be held accountable. And, yes, that includes the president.

So let's show the country that there's a better way.

And I'm Spencer Cox.
