Today I signed an Executive Order establishing a higher bar for data center development in Utah.
Utahns deserve confidence that water resources, air quality, utility rates, wildlife, and quality of life will be protected. This framework helps ensure that data center development aligns with Utah’s long-term interests and reflects Utah values.
In Utah, environmental stewardship and economic opportunity go hand in hand.
It was an honor to welcome President Sadyr Zhaparov of the Kyrgyz Republic to Utah.
Utah and Kyrgyzstan have strengthened ties through exchanges focused on business, education, and government. Our meeting offered an opportunity to continue that work and discuss how our state and the Kyrgyz Republic can work more closely together.
President @sadyrzhaparovkg, welcome to Utah!
Twenty years ago, Larry H. Miller had the vision to build a world-class motorsports facility right here in Utah. Now, West Desert is carrying that legacy forward.
With local ownership, a renewed vision and big plans for the future, this track will continue creating opportunities for the next generation of drivers and bringing some of the best racing in the world to Tooele County.
Congratulations to the entire West Desert team. The track is back!
Utah's unemployment rate remained below the national average in August, coming in at 3.5% compared to 4.1% nationally.
We're grateful for the workers, employers and entrepreneurs who continue to build opportunity across our state.
Two hundred and thirty-nine years ago today, our founders signed a Constitution built on a remarkable idea: government derives its power from the people.
That document has endured not because our country has always gotten it right, but because generations of Americans have worked to live up to its promises and preserve the freedoms it protects.
On Constitution Day, I hope every Utahn will take a few minutes to read it, study it, and remember the responsibility we share to keep this extraordinary experiment in self-government going.
What is Utah doing to save the Great Salt Lake?
The lake is part of what makes Utah home. Its health affects our air, supports livelihoods across the state, and sustains one of the most important migratory bird habitats in the Western Hemisphere.
That’s why Utah is taking decisive action across the entire watershed. See some of the work underway to conserve water and get more of it to the lake.
Abby and I are deeply saddened by the unexpected passing of Talia Casares, Utah’s 2027 Teacher of the Year and a beloved educator who taught fourth and sixth grades at Moroni Elementary.
Talia had a remarkable gift for helping students feel seen, valued, and capable. Her love for her students and belief in their potential left a lasting mark on Sanpete County and our entire state.
We are praying for her family, students, colleagues, and all who loved her.
The National Parks have carried their Utah roots from Provo’s open mic nights to stages across the country. Led by husband-and-wife duo Brady Parks and Megan Taylor Parks, the band draws inspiration from nature, life, and the people we love.
Abby and I were pleased to recognize The National Parks with the Governor’s Mansion Performing Artist Award. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor, and thank you for sharing your music with Utah and audiences across the country.
America should lead the world in developing artificial intelligence, and that leadership must keep people firmly in control.
I’m calling on Congress to establish a consistent national framework for the development of frontier AI. It should require serious safety incidents to be reported, protect those who raise credible concerns, ensure independent evaluation of the most capable models and prevent powerful AI chips and enabling infrastructure from being sold to China.
We can build the world’s most advanced AI here in America while ensuring it remains firmly in service of humanity.
Now in its 65th season, the Utah Shakespeare Festival brings world-class theater to Cedar City and introduces students across the West to the stage.
Abby and I enjoyed going behind the scenes with festival leaders and hearing how the festival continues to strengthen southern Utah. With four productions running through Oct. 3, there’s still time to experience one of our state’s great cultural treasures.
