President J. Stuart Adams

Honored to serve as the Senate President in the great state of Utah and represent District 7.

I watched the community I love lose everything, an inch at a time, to a cultural enemy welcomed inside the gate.

I will not stand by and watch that happen to the state my grandchildren will inherit. https://t.co/KkRQNRlbpB

There are certain moments when you can see the future beginning to take shape such as when Utah's railroads connected the American West. Today's investments in advanced energy have the potential to be just as transformational.

Reliable energy is the foundation of a strong economy and a secure nation. Every business that opens its doors, every hospital that cares for patients and every family that flips on a light switch depends on affordable, dependable power. As Utah continues to grow, so does our responsibility to ensure we have the energy infrastructure to support the next generation of homes, businesses and innovation.

I'm proud that Utah has been selected as one of just five states to explore the opportunity to host a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus. This milestone reflects confidence in Utah's workforce, our business climate and our long-term approach to energy policy. By bringing key stages of the nuclear fuel cycle together in one location, the campus would strengthen domestic supply chains, create thousands of high-paying jobs and further establish Utah as a national leader in advanced energy.

I appreciate @SecretaryWright's partnership as we continue through this process. If selected, this would be a generational investment in Utah's economy, America's energy security and the opportunities we leave for future generations.

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

The Energy Department has selected 5 states to host potential Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses — securing the domestic nuclear fuel cycle.

These campuses will generate billions of dollars in economic activity, expand domestic manufacturing, and create thousands of jobs.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Utah's strength has always come from the people of Utah and their vision to look beyond today and build for tomorrow.

Being recognized as the nation's best state for a fourth consecutive year reflects our enduring values and the sound policies that have expanded opportunity, encouraged innovation and strengthened communities. We are proud of what Utahns have built together, and we remain committed to making our state the best place to live, work and raise a family.

I joined Utah’s federal delegation, state leaders and local officials in Beaver to meet with residents, hear their concerns and see firsthand the impact of the recent wildfires and flooding yesterday. I was also grateful for the opportunity to attend the Pioneer Day parade and spend time with this remarkable community.

Even in the midst of difficult circumstances, Beaver’s compassion, determination and strong sense of community were on full display.

My prayers are with every family grieving the loss of a loved one, those who have been displaced and everyone whose homes, businesses, and property have been damaged.

The response from Utahns has shown the very best of our state, neighbors helping neighbors, communities coming together to work side by side to support recovery. We will continue working with local, state and federal partners to help these communities rebuild and move forward.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Utah’s story began with faith, sacrifice and determination that continue to shape who we are today. As we celebrate Pioneer Day, may we honor that legacy by building something for the next generation that’s worthy of those who came before us. Happy Pioneer Day.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

We mourn the loss of Lt. Tyler Feehan, who served our nation with courage. Our hearts are with his family, his fellow soldiers, and the Southern Utah University community during this difficult time. May we honor his memory by never forgetting his sacrifice. 🇺🇸

[ABC4 News @abc4utah]

Southern Utah University has confirmed that one of the two soldiers killed in action in Jordan last week was a student in their MBA program and was just weeks away from graduating.

I recently visited Kaddas Enterprises and saw firsthand how Utah manufacturers are helping strengthen our state's critical infrastructure while supporting wildlife conservation.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, wildlife is responsible for approximately 20% of power outages nationwide. Kaddas Enterprises is helping meet that challenge by manufacturing innovative products that strengthen grid reliability, protect critical electrical infrastructure, reduce wildfire risk and conserve wildlife.

It is encouraging to see a Utah company creating innovative products that are manufactured here at home and shipped to customers across the country and around the world. That kind of innovation strengthens our economy, creates good jobs and helps solve real-world challenges while making our communities safer and more resilient.

This is what Utah does best. We bring together innovation, manufacturing and practical problem-solving to strengthen our economy, support responsible stewardship and build a stronger future for our state.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

We don’t have to choose between protecting our heritage and supporting our communities.

These changes give land managers greater flexibility to reduce wildfire risk and combat invasive species. By focusing protections where they matter most, we can preserve these cultural and natural treasures while honoring the traditions and livelihoods that have long been part of this region.

[Utah Senate @utahsenate]

Utah welcomes President Trump's modification of the boundaries of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monuments. These changes reflect a balanced approach that recognizes the importance of protecting Utah's landscapes while ensuring responsible, locally informed land management.

“By focusing protections where they matter most, we can preserve cultural and natural treasures while honoring the traditions and livelihoods that have long been part of this region.” - President Adams

We will continue working with federal agencies, tribal governments and local communities to ensure responsible stewardship of these landscapes for generations to come.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Once again, Utah has shown the nation what makes our state so exceptional.

Congratulations to everyone who helped Utah earn the Best in Show State Pavilion award at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Your efforts showcased the people, innovation, values and strong communities that make Utah such a remarkable place. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

For 250 years, the United States has stood as the world's greatest example of freedom. Our nation was founded on the enduring belief that our rights come from God, that liberty is worth defending and that free people can accomplish extraordinary things.

As we commemorate America250, may we all remember the patriots who secured our independence, the servicemen and women who defend our freedoms and all those whose sacrifice has allowed our nation to endure and prosper.

Here in Utah, we proudly carry that legacy forward. Our state's success reflects the enduring principles that have made America exceptional for two and a half centuries. As we gather with family, friends and neighbors this Fourth of July, may we reflect on the blessings of liberty, honor those who made them possible and recommit ourselves to preserving this remarkable nation for generations to come.

Happy Independence Day, and God bless Utah. God bless the United States of America.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Ten years ago, Stadler chose Utah as its North American home. That decision wasn't just about building trains, it was about investing in Utah's people.

I was proud to help bring Stadler to our great state, and it's been incredible to see what that partnership has made possible. Today, it has created hundreds of high-quality jobs, strengthened our manufacturing economy and, through its apprenticeship program, opened doors for students to gain hands-on experience and build rewarding careers in advanced manufacturing.

I've always believed our greatest strength is our people. When business, education and government work together, we build opportunity and strengthen families and a brighter future for the next generation.

We still have work to do to ensure Utah remains the best economy in the country and the best place to raise a family. Here's to the next 10 years of innovation, opportunity and success.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Today's Supreme Court decision reaffirms states' authority to determine participation in school athletics and protect girls' sports. For more than 50 years, Title IX has protected and expanded opportunities for generations of female athletes by ensuring equal access to compete. We remain committed to preserving those opportunities.

Utah has consistently approached this issue with respect, thoughtfulness and a commitment to fairness for all students. We will continue to ensure that women-only spaces are maintained from the playing field to the podium, giving Utah girls the chance to shoot, score and succeed.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Today, we celebrated the groundbreaking at The Point—an investment in Utah's future. The Point will become a vibrant community with new homes, parks, trails, open space and opportunities for entertainment, business and world-class health care. Utah's success has never happened by accident. It comes from planning ahead to ensure future generations inherit an even better Utah than the one we enjoy today.

[Governor Cox @GovCox]

Today, we mourn three heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting lives and communities along the Utah-Colorado border.

Please join Abby and me in praying for their loved ones, those who were injured, and every firefighter still on the line.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

The influence of a good father reaches far beyond his own home. Being a father to my children has been the greatest joy and privilege of my life, and I am grateful for the example, guidance and love my own father provided. Through countless acts of service, sacrifice and encouragement, fathers help prepare the next generation to succeed and strengthen our communities. Happy Father’s Day!

[Utah Senate @utahsenate]

For nearly 250 years, the Stars and Stripes have represented sacrifice, unity, freedom and the belief that America’s best days are still ahead.

Happy Flag Day. May we always honor the generations who built this country and continue striving to leave it stronger for the next. 🇺🇸

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

Today, we pause to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Allied forces who landed on the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. On D-Day, thousands of individuals willingly stepped into uncertainty and danger in defense of freedom. 

Their bravery helped change the course of history and secure the liberties that generations have since enjoyed. On this anniversary, we remember those who gave their lives and express our deepest gratitude to all who have worn the uniform in defense of our nation and the cause of liberty around the world.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

In response to the demand letter I sent to @kevinolearytv, he agreed to all conditions.

Protecting Utah’s water, especially the future of the Great Salt Lake, remains one of my highest priorities. As a result of the letter, the project now includes a commitment of water that did not previously exist for the Great Salt Lake — while also reducing the overall effective size of the proposed project area by 75%.

It is important to highlight that this process is still in its earliest stages. There must be written commitments in place, and the proposal must undergo a full permitting and environmental review process, just like any other development project in Utah.

The response to the demand letter I sent demonstrates that public engagement matters and that Utahns' concerns are being heard.

Utah can once again become an example for America, proving that when people come together, they can build the right way and leave something better for the next generation.

[President J. Stuart Adams @JStuartAdams]

It was an honor to join Union Pacific, Northrop Grumman and NASA in Corinne, Utah, as the rocket motors for the Artemis III mission began their journey to Cape Canaveral, Florida.

More than 150 years after Utah helped unite the nation through the railroad, our state is helping power the next era of American innovation, exploration and discovery. Thanks to Utah's skilled workforce and culture of innovation, we're continuing to play a vital role in shaping America's future, from connecting a continent to helping return Americans to the Moon.
