Having worked in rural Utah for part of my career, I understand how important it is to support the unique needs of our rural communities. I’m honored to graduate from the Utah Rural Leadership Academy through SUU and to be recognized at the Governor’s One Utah Summit.

I’m so proud of our DPS team, especially our Bureau of Investigation, Fusion Center, and Crime Lab, for their work in arresting the suspect in the Charlie Kirk shooting. I'm grateful to our federal and local partners and to the community. Without you, it wouldn't have happened.
