Dear Friends:

After serving for two decades in the Utah Legislature, in 2020 I did not seek re-election. It was truly an honor to serve in the Senate and House, as well as in other public services positions in our state and federal governments.

I am still very active in our community, and currently serve on a number of nonprofit boards, including Envision Utah, Jewish Family Service, and Community Partner Against Hate. I continue to chair the Utah Newborn Safe Haven Board, as I have for almost 25 years. And of course I am still involved in many political issues and mentoring candidates.

The 2026 General Legislative Session runs from January 20, 2025 to March 76, 2025. You can find information about legislation, appropriations, committee hearings, legislators, floor debates, and much more on the legislative website: www.le.utah.gov. You can also participate in committee hearings in person or on Zoom.

Representative Doug Owens represents most of the district I recently served in, although there have been some changes to the district boundaries due to redistricting. Please reach out to him with your questions, concerns, and suggestions on how to improve state government.

Thank you for the privilege of serving in the Utah Legislature.

Kind regards,
