Today I signed an Executive Order establishing a higher bar for data center development in Utah.
Utahns deserve confidence that water resources, air quality, utility rates, wildlife, and quality of life will be protected. This framework helps ensure that data center development aligns with Utah’s long-term interests and reflects Utah values.
In Utah, environmental stewardship and economic opportunity go hand in hand.
Every veteran has a story of service, sacrifice, and love of country. Taking the time to listen is one way we can begin to understand what we owe them.
This Veterans Day, we thank Utah’s veterans across every generation and branch of service for answering the call and protecting the freedoms we share. To our veterans and the families who have stood beside them: You have our deepest gratitude, and we must never take your service or sacrifices for granted.
God bless our veterans and the United States of America.
The best ideas for making government work better often come from the people doing the work every day.
Through our GRIT initiative, Utah’s state employees are finding ways to simplify processes, save taxpayer dollars, and better serve Utahns. Their work has delivered an estimated $24.04 million in cost savings, $13.33 million in avoided costs, and 37,550 hours saved.
I’m grateful for the employees behind these results, including those recognized today for finding better ways to serve Utahns. Thank you for making GRIT possible.

Utah is leading the way.
Under @GovCox, a Treatment First approach is delivering results: 40% fewer arrests and a stronger path to self-sufficiency.
We are proud to support this model nationwide. Housing First failed. Treatment First will succeed.
As HUD Secretary, I am proud to lift up Utah as the national example.
@GovCox’s focus on treatment and recovery, not just beds, is working: 40% fewer arrests.
Housing First led us into shipwreck. Treatment First will succeed.

This morning at PBS Utah, I shared some thoughts on last week’s midterm elections, what the results might tell us, and where we go from here.
There’s a lot for all of us in public office to reflect on, myself included. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read or watch my full remarks.
HISTORY MADE!
In their first-ever playoff appearance, the @UtahRoyalsFC are advancing to the NWSL semifinals!
Congratulations, Royals! All of Utah is cheering you on.
Every day, the men and women of the Utah Department of Public Safety work to protect Utahns, prevent tragedies, and respond when our neighbors need help most.
For 75 years, DPS has served Utah with courage and dedication. To every DPS employee: Thank you for the sacrifices you make, the lives you protect, and the extraordinary work you do to keep Utah safe.
BREAKING: Utah is turning the page at the former US Magnesium site. @UtahFFSL has selected @MarianaMinerals as the new operator to modernize operations, help fund the cleanup of decades of contamination, and conserve water for the Great Salt Lake.
Homelessness is a complex challenge, and addressing it requires all of us working together.
This morning, I joined more than 350 service providers, first responders, elected officials, and partners at Utah’s Central Homelessness Summit to discuss how we can better help people move from crisis to stability.
We’ve made historic investments in shelter, housing, public safety, and treatment. Now, our focus is on results: recovery, stability, and lasting independence.
As our dear friend Pamela Atkinson taught us, we can never lose sight of the people behind the numbers.
Thank you to everyone working to make a difference in the lives of Utahns.
Utah faced one of its toughest wildfire seasons in years. Through dangerous conditions, long days, and time away from their families, our firefighters and emergency responders showed extraordinary courage and dedication.
We gathered to recognize the incredible work of those who helped protect Utah this wildfire season. Many missed important family milestones and made personal sacrifices to keep their fellow Utahns safe.
We also remember the lives lost and the families forever changed by these fires.
I'm deeply grateful to everyone who answered the call and helped protect our state.
Abby and I celebrated Utah’s remarkable artistic legacy at the Governor’s Mansion Artist Awards, recognizing three honorees who have helped shape it.
Painter Ron Richmond creates deeply symbolic work that invites us to reflect on life, faith, and the world around us.
The Utah Shakespeare Festival brings stories to life on stage and has made Cedar City a destination for exceptional theater. Executive Managing Director Michael Bahr and Artistic Director John DiAntonio accepted the award on its behalf.
Former Sen. Haven J. Barlow helped shape Utah’s cultural institutions and championed the restoration of the Governor’s Mansion. His family accepted a posthumous lifetime achievement award recognizing his legacy.
Thank you to the Governor’s Mansion Foundation and everyone who helped us celebrate these contributions to the arts in Utah.
Keep reading, even if you haven’t found a book you love yet. You never know what the next story might open up for you.
Abby’s "Jennie Makes Room" invites young readers to discover Jennie’s story and imagine how their own acts of kindness can make a difference in someone else’s life.
All book proceeds support the Governor’s Mansion Foundation’s work to preserve the people’s house for future generations.
