Senator Romney’s office released a report detailing the policy and constituent service accomplishments of Romney’s Senate term. Major legislative highlights include enactment of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, securing a passport agency for Salt Lake City, establishing the Wildfire Mitigation and Management Commission, prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to anyone under the age of 21, and enacting measures to counter China. The Romney team also assisted with more than 10,000 constituent casework claims, responded to nearly 1 million pieces of constituent mail, and met with thousands of Utahns.

It cannot be understated: America today faces formidable challenges—our mounting national debt, rising authoritarian power and influence around the world, unchecked growth of AI technologies, and increasingly dramatic climate conditions. This week in Utah, Senator Romney met with entrepreneurs, students, and higher education leaders to discuss the challenges we face that require serious attention from Americans and lawmakers. He also commemorated the horrific terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, and met with a Paralympian bronze medalist from Utah.

Utah—out of all 50 states—has the highest number of children in each family. And in today’s economy, families are facing great financial strain. This week, Senator Romney introduced legislation that would support families raising kids by expanding the Child Tax Credit without adding to the debt. He also introduced legislation to help the federal government assess its ability to respond to economic shocks and to continue oversight of funds tied to COVID-era programs.
