As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are to be examples of how to interact with others—especially when we have differences of opinion. One of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is by how compassionately that person treats other people. #GeneralConference
“As one of the special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world, I testify that He is the Son of the living God. Jesus is the Christ—our atoning Savior and Redeemer. This is His Church, restored to bless God’s children and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord.” —Russell M. Nelson (1924–2025).
The shootings in Colorado and Utah are heartbreaking and unacceptable. This must be a reckoning—a turning point for our Nation. Democrats & Republicans must come together to enact policies that keep us safe in schools, rallies, houses of worship & every corner of America.
Our hearts are with Charlie Kirk, the students, and the entire UVU community after today’s tragic shooting. Gun violence has no place in our campuses or public spaces. We stand in solidarity with all impacted and call once again for common-sense gun safety laws.
We would like to recognize the outstanding contributions of Utah leaders at this year's @NCSLorg Legislative Summit.
Sen. Harper's leadership as NCSL President has elevated Utah's spirit of collaboration on the national stage. Over the past year, he's strengthened relationships among lawmakers and championed practical, bipartisan solutions to the challenges states face. His commitment to sharing ideas and best practices has left a lasting mark on legislatures across the country.
Congratulations as well to @SenatorLuz on being selected to serve on the NCSL Executive Committee. She will bring valuable insight to the organization while continuing to represent our great state with passion, integrity and a shared commitment to building a better future for all.
And a well-deserved shoutout to Utah's Office of the Legislative Auditor General, led by Kade Minchey, on receiving the LRL Notable Documents Award, an honor that reflects their continued excellence and dedication. Utah's legislative staff continues to raise the standards of excellence and professionalism. Their work is an essential part of what makes the Legislative Branch and Utah so strong and effective.

A highlight of Judge Gibson’s 76 page ruling. 📌Bottom Line: Utah voters said yes to fair maps. The court has now enforced that decision, and the Legislature has 30 days to comply. We applaud this decision.
Utah Democratic Leaders Senator Luz Escamilla and Representative Angela Romero released the following statement regarding the politically targeted shooting of Minnesota State legislators @RepAngelaRomero@SenatorLuz
