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.
Remembering the heroes of D-Day.
On D-Day, Allied forces embodied the often-repeated scripture, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." We must never forget their sacrifice 80 years ago, which helped liberate an entire continent and secured freedom around the world.
Honoring our fallen servicemembers.
On Memorial Day, my heart turns to those who died while serving our country. Their sacrifice embodies the true essence of heroism—selflessly defending the freedoms we hold dear. May we never forget the patriotic spirit and dedication of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Utah's drought is still the worst it's been since the 1500s.
Senator Romney raised the need to address ongoing drought conditions in Utah and the Intermountain West during a Budget Committee hearing titled, “Droughts, Dollars, and Decisions: Water Scarcity in a Changing Climate.”
Blinken Personally Commits to Follow Through on Delivering Romney’s Comprehensive China Strategy
At a Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Senator Romney pressed Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the Administration’s continued failure to deliver to Congress a comprehensive strategy to counter China, required by law after Romney secured his legislation as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2022. The Administration is now nearly one year late in delivering the strategy.
Honoring our law enforcement.
A few weeks ago, on May 5th, Sergeant Bill Hooser of the Santaquin Police Department was killed in the line of duty. Earlier this week, Utahns from across the state gathered to mourn his loss with his loved ones and reflect on his life and service.
My heart goes out to those family members and dear friends he left behind. Sergeant Hooser’s sacrifice is an important reminder to all of us—every single day our men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line to protect our communities.
During National Police Week, may we all take pause to honor our law enforcement officers, extend our gratitude for their service, and remember those whose lives have been tragically lost in the line of duty.
I especially want to thank our officers in Utah and to those who serve on the U.S. Capitol Police force. Ann and I continue to pray for your safety.
