The 2026 Utah Legislative Session was a challenging one, and I’m proud of the work we did to protect our communities and push for thoughtful, evidence-based policy. This session, I was honored to pass thir- teen pieces of legislation, including advancing pediatric emergency readiness in ER settings, strengthening dyslexia screening in schools, expanding vitamin K education to protect newborns, and ending abusive non-compete clauses in veterinary medicine to improve access to animal care and protect the workforce. I also passed legislation establishing a Recovery Ready Workplace initiative, and initiated a Purple Alert system to help communities respond when vulnerable Utahns go missing. It is an honor to represent Senate District 9, and I remain committed to building a healthier, more equitable, and more just Utah for all.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. This year in the Utah legislature, I was able to pass 21 Senate bills as well as another 16 House bills that I co-sponsored. We focused on key issues including protecting the Great Salt Lake, strengthening safeguards for children and supporting student success. We took meaningful steps to protect the Great Salt Lake by finalizing a major land agreement through H.J.R. 30, securing long-term protections, public access and Utah’s mineral rights. Education remained a top priority, with nearly $300 million in new funding to support students, teachers and classrooms.

The 2026 Utah General Legislative Session brought a mix of progress and ongoing challenges for our state. As lawmakers, we debated critical issues such as public education funding, Medicaid expansion, and environmental protection. While this session felt slightly less contentious than the past few years, many justifiably feel that the legislature fell short in addressing our water crisis, environmental quality, and protecting voting access. On social issues, the session saw continued contentious debates over LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights, with many community members pushing back against restrictive, mean-spirited measures. Despite these setbacks, grassroots activism and public engagement continues to grow stronger, setting the stage for change in the coming months. Overall, the session highlighted the importance of continued advocacy to ensure that the voices of all Utahns are heard and reflected in future policy making.
