Utah First

I ask you, the people and businesses of Utah, to collaborate with me and submit any ideas or issues to consider as we begin the process of reopening up our economy. The more collaborative the efforts, the better the outcome.

During the Senate’s state work period last week, I was able to visit 7 of Utah’s 29 counties. Listening to the diverse perspectives found in our great state helps me to better represent the people of Utah in the US Senate. Here’s a recap of some of my visits.

Please Join us for Senator Lee’s Senior Resource Fair. Wednesday, May 2, 2018, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM MT, my office is sponsoring a Senior Resource Fair at the North Davis Senior Center. This is a great opportunity for members of our community to visit with my staff and other organizations like AARP, Davis County Health Department, and more. Come learn how we can help with federal agencies and gain useful information and resources for seniors and their families.

I met with some of the leadership and students at The Other Side Academy in Salt Lake. I was blown away by their stories, turning away from lives of crime and drug use toward lives of meaning and purpose. Their model is one that I believe could be emulated to the benefit of individuals across the nation. The Other Side Academy does this with no government funding, giving them the freedom to run their program in the way they feel is most effective in the lives of their students.
