Amidst an historic drought, Utah is facing a rapidly growing population and a booming economy. Senator Romney helped negotiate and pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill to ensure that Utah had a seat at the table—and that our needs would be addressed at the federal level. Now that the bill is law, Senator Romney spent his week in Utah touring key water and infrastructure projects and meeting with local leaders to discuss how funding provided by the law can best be used to put Utah on a sustainable path.

This week, as Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an acceleration of his war effort in Ukraine, Senator Romney warned another nation with malevolent ambitions, China, that its alignment with Russia could result in severe consequences from nations around the world. He also welcomed funding for Utah’s wildfire resilience, which he secured by helping negotiate the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and met with several Utahns visiting Washington.

This week, Senator Romney continued to work on several of his key priorities for Utah, including addressing our state’s historic drought, increasingly devastating wildfires, and rapidly growing economy. On the national front, the Senator questioned big tech executives on China’s influence on the American public through social media and joined his colleagues in a proposal for federal permitting reform.
