Best Overall State!
Utah was ranked Number 1 best overall State by U.S. News and World Report! Our commitment to innovation, education, fostering industry, and strengthening our economy are just a few of the reasons why this is such an amazing place to live, now and for generations to come. I am proud to call Utah home. You can check out the report at https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

Interim Meetings and Committee Assignments
During the year, my colleagues and I prepare for the upcoming General Session through our monthly interim meetings. These meetings start again this month on May 16th! They are open to the public, and you are able to participate both in person and virtually. To see Committee Assignments go to https://house.utleg.gov/2023-interim-committee-assignments/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery During Interims, I Co-chair the Public Utilities , Energy, and Technology Committee with Senator Hinkins. I also serve on the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environmental Quality Standing and Appropriations Committees. I also serve on the Legislative Water Commission and the Federalism Commission.
Flood Prevention
This spring, we are facing an increased risk of flooding all across our State. It’s important to monitor your local risk of flooding to help minimize damage in the event of a worst-case scenario. Go to https://beready.utah.gov/utah-hazards/flood/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery to check your risk level and find some helpful flood preparedness resources.
House Spring Service Project
Each year, the House majority participates in a spring service project. This year, my colleagues and I are helping address flooding in our areas by volunteering to help fill sandbags and participating in other flood preparation activities. If you would like to get involved, check your city and county websites for volunteer opportunities.
