With the Senate out of session, Senator Romney spent time back in Utah, meeting with folks around the state about several key priorities. The Senator toured two COVID-19 vaccination sites with Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, thanking volunteers for assisting their fellow Utahns in getting vaccinated. He also met with Major General Michael Turley and other leaders of the Utah National Guard to learn more about the Guard’s role in the state’s vaccination efforts.

Senator Romney continued advocating for the use of scientific data in determining the reopening of k-12 schools throughout the country. During a Senate Health Committee hearing, he stressed that the cost of keeping our kids out of school is so unbelievably high—academically and socially—that it is inconceivable schools remain closed when data doesn’t show an increased risk.

Senator Romney focused on two of his main priorities: the need for a comprehensive strategy to combat the increasing China threat and ensuring Utah voices are heard on issues related to the state’s public lands.
