When I became Gov the state owed $2.5 billion in debt. Working with the legislature we’ve paid down $1.67 billion (66%) and now only owe $847 million (all while cutting $1.3B in taxes). Pretty sure it’s the first time in history we’ve had substantially more savings than debt.
Utah’s rainy day savings: $1.5B at the end of FY25. Since 2021, we’ve paid down 66% of state general obligation (GO) debt. We have nearly 2x more in savings than in GO debt. Responsible budgets. Lower interest costs. Stronger Utah.

Don't touch bats! Just a reminder, bats may be cute, but can carry rabies disease. Give them lots of space and don't touch or play with them. swuhealth.gov/RABIES

What’s the secret to a long life? We asked a couple of people who should know! Kay Croen (108) and Wayne Clayson (104) both attended a celebration for Utah centenarians (those who have reached their 100th birthday and beyond) on Tuesday. Know someone who is well on their way to their 100th birthday? Search for services for older adults in your area at: daas.utah.gov/locations/

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.

The Office of the Medical Examiner (OME), part of the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, expanded its storage capacity by retrofitting existing facilities and resources. This work resulted in $98,000 in cost avoidance and $60,000 in cost optimization, saving taxpayers more than $150,000. Every efficiency adds up to deliver more value for Utahns across state government.
