Steward Health Care's mismanagement in Utah was reprehensible.
While operating in Utah from 2017 to 2023, Steward Health Care understaffed facilities, withheld payment for equipment, failed to meet operational standards, and—most importantly—endangered the lives of patients. Five hospitals in Utah suffered from their mismanagement. These events were reprehensible and should have never happened.
May we never forget 9/11.
Each September 11, we remember that tragic day in 2001 when terrorists attacked our country and the values we hold dear. Today, we honor all of those who lost their lives and the heroism exhibited by our first responders. We also reflect on the extraordinary display of unity and patriotism that followed that tragic day. May we never forget 9/11.
Let's go, Team USA!
As we watch the Olympic and Paralympic Games unfold in Paris, we will witness the greatest qualities of the human spirit on full display by those representing Team USA. To all our athletes—especially those with Utah ties—best of luck! We are cheering you on.
Happy Pioneer Day!
On Pioneer Day, Utahns of all backgrounds and faith traditions celebrate our state’s rich heritage of courage, sacrifice, and fellowship. It is this pioneer spirit—embodied by generations of hardworking Utahns—that has forged our state as the best place to live, work, and raise a family. Happy Pioneer Day!
The Winter Games are coming back to Salt Lake City!
It’s official—the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games are coming back to Salt Lake City in 2034! I want to congratulate and thank all those who worked tirelessly to make this happen, especially Fraser Bullock and state leaders. I look forward to cheering on Team USA as they compete in the Beehive State in 2034!
May God bless our great country 🇺🇸
Although America’s ascent was improbable, we’ve achieved a level of greatness and goodness never before seen in human history. We innovate, we persevere, we overcome. On Independence Day, may we honor the Americans before us who built this country and commit to preserve it for generations to come. From my family to yours: Happy Fourth of July! May God bless our great nation 🇺🇸
The United States is on the path to financial catastrophe.
Continuing to spend massively more than we take in each year—adding on to our public debt—cannot go on forever. The United States is on the path to financial catastrophe unless we put partisanship aside and produce constructive and honest solutions to stabilize our debt.
Utah's workforce model is lifting scores of people out of poverty.
Utah is a leader in lifting people out of poverty and into the workforce—in large part due to our model of consolidating workforce development and social safety net programs into a single state entity. During today's HELP Committee hearing, I highlighted my legislation that would allow other states to implement Utah's model to better help individuals build self-reliance and find meaningful work.
