The DOGE Caucus has wasted no time organizing our members & crafting a clear vision for what we hope to achieve, & these principles underscore how we plan to get there. The time is now to rein in wasteful federal spending, streamline our bureaucracy, & make Washington work better for Americans.
Utah’s First District has 2 of the top 3 best performing major cities in the country. While I realize it’s not ALL because of me 😉 I made sure that my House colleagues saw these statistics! Congrats to the ACTUAL local leaders who create these results! Go Utah! #utpol

I have remained laser focused on crafting pro-family & pro-growth tax policies, & Congress has a historic opportunity this year to do just that. I spoke in @WaysandMeansGOP about my Family First Act which increases the Child Tax Credit & benefits over 76,000 families in the 1st District alone, as well as my Small Business Growth Act which helps small businesses attain the equipment necessary to build their operations & support their workforce. These bills are critical to building a strong economy, & I look forward to advancing them this year. #utpol

It was great to sit down with representatives from Layton’s Valley View RV Resort alongside other members of the @MerchantsPymnts to discuss the impact of credit card fees on their business & other Utah retailers. Thanks for visiting me all the way in DC! #utpol
What a great way to start the 119th Congress! My MAPWaters Act & National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act have passed the House! These bills will enhance recreationalists’ ability to access & enjoy our federal waterways & establish a location for a monument to recognize our Medal of Honor recipients on the National Mall. I’m grateful to start the year with these exciting wins, & I look forward to advancing these bills to the Senate Floor.
Thank you @SteveScalise for the cookie cakes!

I'm grateful to receive an A+ rating from @sbaprolife for my work in the 118th Congress to defend life. I look forward to continuing to advance pro-life legislation, including my Family First Act, which increases the Child Tax Credit, adds a new tax credit for pregnant mothers, & provides enhanced resources so parents feel empowered to choose life.
Join me for my first town hall of the year in Kaysville on Jan. 30th! We will meet in the Great Room at Davis Technical College at 4pm. We will be discussing my work on the DOGE Caucus & more. I look forward to answering your questions & sharing my priorities for the 119th Congress! #utpol
I filmed a new “The Moore You Know” video outlining the importance of the Child Tax Credit & how my Family First Act would help relieve financial burdens on growing families. Congress has a historic opportunity this year to advance pro-family tax policies, & I’m excited to be part of this work.

Shoutout to the winners of my most recent messaging competition, the Lame Duck Hunt! As the @HouseGOP Vice Chair, my office holds conference-wide messaging competitions to encourage House Republicans to share our achievements on behalf of the American people. Congrats to @RepLaMalfa, @RepMeuser, & our winner @RepJoeWilson!
While with my guests after an inauguration event in DC, I unexpectedly ran into a group of @UTHighwayPatrol officers. They were on loan to provide security for the event, & we got to chat for as long as the freezing temperatures allowed. A great group of officers & a welcome conversation! #utpol
UT is known for having the Greatest Snow on Earth, & skiing is a critical component of our local economy. That is why I introduced the SHRED Act to allow local National Forests to retain a portion of annual fees paid by ski areas operating on Forest Service lands. By allowing these fees to be used for maintenance & improvements, we can ensure these funds directly benefit Utah & other western states. #utpol
As the west continues to struggle with devastating wildfires, we must bolster our wildfire mitigation research, forest management, & watershed projects. That is why I joined my UT Delegation colleagues in introducing the Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act which will establish a wildfire research institute at @USUAggies where experts & officials can come together & create innovative solutions to keep our forests & communities safe. #utpol
It was an honor to attend President Trump’s Joint Session tonight. He and his administration have swiftly responded to the call of Americans to secure our border, unleash domestic energy production, address rampant crime, tackle the difficult task to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government, and more. There is much to do legislatively in the coming months to ensure a strong economy and defense, and I look forward to working with the Trump administration to accomplish this agenda.
Just minutes before @POTUS announced the 90-day pause on the admin’s reciprocal tariff plan, I questioned @USTradeRep Jamieson Greer on the implications of tariffs on our global advantage in services, our edge in the AI race, and our national security.
I also asked about impacts on our local businesses, such as the Sports Den in SLC, that could potentially never recover from heightened tariffs.
I remain supportive of targeted and aggressive tariffs on our adversaries in strategic sectors, but I share in my constituents’ concerns that the economic realities could harm local business growth, raise prices on working class families, hurt retirement and 529 accounts, and trigger a recession.
I thank Ambassador Greer for his time and will be vigilantly watching what this pause does for our trade landscape.

Working alongside University of Utah leadership, I was proud to craft the University of Utah Research Park Act to ensure the U can continue to serve as a premier research incubator.
