Utah should remain a place where the next generation can build a life, raise a family and own a home. That’s why we created the Utah First Homes Award to recognize communities and partners helping make homeownership more attainable. This round, we’re recognizing La Verkin City, Washington City, DR Horton, Cole West and SITLA for projects delivering more attainable homes in southern Utah, including 750 homes in La Verkin priced between $360,000 and $420,000 and approximately 220 single-family homes in Washington City averaging $425,000 or less. Projects like this show what is possible.

Utah and Colorado compete over a lot of things – who has the better mountains, the better skiing, the better economy, etc. I think it’s Utah, and Governor Jared Polis thinks it's Colorado. But one thing we agree on, is that Americans need to learn how to #DisagreeBetter and that healthy conflict results in better policy. This year as chair and vice chair of NGA, we’re setting out to do just that. We hope you’ll join us!

When it comes to Flock cameras, privacy must be our top priority.

Today we’ve convened as the governors of Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, and Hawai‘i to focus on the issues that matter most to western states. We like to say that potholes aren’t partisan, and that spirit is exactly why the West works. I’m grateful to be working together on housing, water, energy, and the other challenges and opportunities we share across our states.

We’re taking the Utah Way to the national stage – the idea that we can find ways to come together and get things done. We must learn how to #DisagreeBetter. And that is exactly what we intend to do this year as chair of the National Governors Association. Let’s get to work.

Utah is ready to build advanced nuclear. Operation Gigawatt will drive down costs, deliver abundance, and make our state a net energy exporter. We’re accelerating site selection, rightsizing regulation, and getting to work. This is about powering Utah and securing America. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Utahns! For the fourth year in a row, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Utah the best state in the nation, including No. 2 for economic opportunity and No. 6 for education. This recognition belongs to the Utahns who work hard, serve their neighbors, solve problems, and make this the best place to live, work, and raise a family. I’m grateful for all we’ve accomplished together, and even more excited for what’s ahead.

More than 75% of Utah’s wildfires are human-caused, which means prevention starts with all of us. As hot, dry, and windy conditions continue across our state, please use extra caution outdoors and help reduce the risk of new fires. Thank you to the firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel working tirelessly to protect Utah.

The failure of federal immigration policies has worsened the fentanyl crisis in Utah. What might seem like a distant problem is hitting everyone: parents, professionals and our youth. Today we launched the Fentanyl Task Force to clean up our streets and help those suffering get back on their feet.

MAJOR UPDATE: Utah recorded no agricultural land sales to foreign entities in 2024 — the most recent year of verified data. This is confirmed by Utah Public Safety the Farm Service Agency, which reported no AFIDA filings last year. Thanks to HB516, Utah now prohibits adversarial foreign entities from purchasing land and requires those that already own it to sell. We’ll keep defending Utah land and liberty. 🇺🇸
