Thank you Springville City for a great week of Art City Days. Soaring over Springville in a hot air balloon seeing the beauty of our area and seeing thousands of friends and neighbors along the parade route reminded me again of the wonderful communities where we live.

What a privilege to help turn the soil at the groundbreaking for the expansion of Intermountain Health’s Spanish Fork Hospital. Five years after opening, it continues providing exceptional care close to home. The expansion adds 8 ER rooms, 2 operating rooms, and CT scanner room.

Two incredible elementary schools in one day. Sage Creek Elementary has a talented team of teachers. I loved teaching 5th graders about citizenship. Maple Ridge Elementary gave an epic sendoff for Principal Matis. After 11 years we hate to see her leave but friendships continue.

Being at Davis School District’s “Voices of a Nation” was inspirational. Students shared perspectives on 250 years of America. They spoke of the foundational principles in America’s story: courage, sacrifice, resilience, and hope. Today I saw excellence in education.

Communities are strong because of volunteers. Mapleton’s theater held an astounding gala—such talent. Can’t wait for their June show, Cinderella. Today’s Fireman’s Breakfast had pancakes, family fun. The Fire Association supports local philanthropy. Thanks to all who build unity.

Honored to attend the White House State Leadership Conference in D.C. this week, representing Utah with Cabinet officials. I saw federalism in action—state and federal coordination. Advocating Utah’s views ensures our voice is heard in our nation’s Capitol.

Utah is again the #1 state for economic outlook—for the 19th straight year. Using 15 variables—taxpayer reforms, tax cuts, free-market policies & regulatory reform—Utah leads. Honored to represent HD 63 in D.C. championing policies that benefit all: bit.ly/3QfhZp2

Today is a great day for Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind and Utah. Thanks to Gov. Cox for signing HB448, which I sponsored, into law. After a year of collaboration, it passed the Legislature unanimously. This ensures students receive the education and support they need.
