I have known Brett for a long time and continue to support him as a member of the Utah House!

Would you do me a favor?
I am in a tough fight for the nomination at the Dem Convention. Can you quote tweet your endorsement for my reelection? I would be so grateful.
Thank you!

The GEA SPED Committee meets to discuss matters related to SPED in GSD and problem solve concerns submitted by GEA members. Yesterday, Dr. Nye joined the committee to discuss the impacts of the leg session and get feedback on what it is like to be a SPED teacher. @GraniteSchools

The 3 legislators: @repangelaromero @nateforutah and me. I am proud to stand up for reproductive freedom. #utpol #utleg Read the brief here: https://t.co/siuyX1zEd7

Today, SCOTUS heard oral arguments on whether to restrict access to mifepristone. There were 3 #utleg who signed w/640 others to an amicus brief "affirming that mifepristone is a safe, effective and necessary medication for pregnant people seeking abortion care." #utpol

Several Democrats, including Rep. Brett Garner (D-31), opposed the income tax cut, arguing that Republicans are ignoring “real needs,” such as homelessness and funding for teachers, to “give the richest Utahns a couple of thousands of dollars.” #utpol #utleg

@FakeGovernorCox The apocryphal story is that they were outlawed in the late 90s/ early aughts because a legislator was caught by one.

An example of how automated speed cameras could assist in these investigations.

An 8-year-old boy was hit by a car this afternoon outside an elementary school in Salt Lake City. The driver took off. The boy and his mom tell me he’s OK, but they’re both shaken up by the scary ordeal. ⁦@KSL5TV⁩ https://t.co/TCVJImuJK1

Wish I could have had a committee hearing on my bill to allow them in school zones and construction zones. Still committed to changing this if I am reelected.

@smokevapeutah @ChaunceyGardner @d__barb @GhostofPrickles No the question asked students if they used the substance in the past 30 days. They've asked it in the survey of students since 2018.

Heads up for some fun on the House Floor--should the state babysit the @SimGillDA Salt Lake County DA? Or essentially neuter him as a prosecutor? I don't think so. #utleg #utpol

@EdwardHubert4 @GhostofPrickles @smokevapeutah I was willing to continue but if you're saying nicotine is benign, you're ignoring 40+ years of science. https://t.co/7ar0fB4rAa

@smokevapeutah @GhostofPrickles @EdwardHubert4 Never heard from you before today.
Responded to all House District 31 (eastern WVC&Taylorsville) residents & biz
I can't reach out to everyone at the speed we have the bills, so I prioritize my constituents 1st.

[Brett Garner @brett_LG]

Who is trying to influence me today? Morning snacks are from Adult Education of Association of Utah, but I'm getting a lot of lobbying by WVC/Taylorsville's staffs about their priority bills. #utpol #utleg

[Brett Garner @brett_LG]

Good morning on day 45 of #utleg the final day
Last night we ended relatively early, but I don't know how long we will stay tonight.
We did pass the NHL stadium deal; I did not vote for it because my constituents were opposed to the proposal. #utpol

[Brett Garner @brett_LG]

We will likely hear some senate bills. SB224 is not a good bill in that it would raise our utility bills so that energy companies don't have to pay for fires that their transmission lines cause. #utpol #Utleg https://t.co/onYpMDiGkv
