Utah Senate Majority

Common sense government oversight, representing Utah citizens from Tremonton to Saint George, Salt Lake to Vernal, Orem to Blanding. Honored to serve.

[Utah Senate Majority @UtahSenateGOP]

Pres. @JStuartAdams and @BradWilsonGOP commend Pres. @realDonaldTrump for his inspiring leadership and policies that have positively transformed our great country and for paying particular attention to Utah’s desires and issues, by putting Utah first. #utpol #utleg

Senators are listening to the voice of the people and expanding Medicaid in Utah. #utpol #utleg

[Utah Senate Majority @UtahSenateGOP]

Legislators are listening to the will of the people and expanding Medicaid. #utpol #utleg

[Utah Senate Majority @UtahSenateGOP]

States that expanded have experienced budget overruns far exceeding their original cost estimates. California projections to expand Medicaid over 3 years were $11.6 billion; actual costs were $43.7 billion. #utpol #utleg

[Utah Senate Majority @UtahSenateGOP]

S.B. 96 is a solution on how to sustain the voter approved Medicaid expansion long term in a compassionate and responsible manner that makes sense for all Utahns. #utpol #utleg

@NTSB We agree texting and driving is also a real danger - which is why it is banned in Utah. Additionally, we have some of the toughest distracted driving laws in the country. #utpol #utleg

Decades of research show it will save lives on the road. For this reason, the @NTSB has recommended all states move to .05 BAC or lower. The law is about saving lives not religious values. #utpol #utleg

"The founders of Utah thought it was important to give [redistricting] authority exclusively to the Legislature and no other entity. This anchors the entire process in the voice of the people."

"If I was trying to help myself become a 'senator for life' I did a terrible job at it."

@utahhousedems @waynenieder Except the only part of that claim @RobertGehrke actually challenges is the premise that the voice of the people is represented in the #utleg at all.

Regardless of our side of the aisle or side of the #utleg, that is a claim we should be unified in refuting, not celebrating.

Today, as her resignation becomes effective, we honor Senator Margaret Dayton. Thank you, Senator Dayton, for your many years of dedication and service to the people of Utah. You will be missed! #utleg #utpol

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

My take: Mayor’s inaction in Rio Grande risks giving back the gains that have been made around Pioneer Park. https://t.co/BALJwUvOAf #utpol

@fox13 on the hill today, talking Trump, public lands, and the economy. #utpol #utleg

One of the reasons we asked the governor to call us into special session was to provide funding. That's our job. He said no. #utleg https://t.co/a5UHGj05Fg

Is it a conflict for the @UtahAG’s office to give a legal opinion to the #utleg?
@UtahStateBar says: Nah.
