Sen. Lee Statement on Passing of Jon Huntsman Sr.
Feb 2, 2018
From humble beginnings to hard-earned professional success, Jon Huntsman Sr. exemplified the American Dream.

One Weird Trick To End Government Shutdowns
Jan 26, 2018
A week ago, the government shuttered its doors. For roughly 68 hours, the men and women of our armed services did not know when they would receive their next paycheck.
When the government reopened, it was because Congress passed and the President signed a Continuing Resolution (CR) that allowed the government to be funded – but only for three weeks. And the CR passed this Monday was needed because the four-week CR before that ran out. And that CR was preceded by another CR that passed right before Christmas.
