Thanks @KUTVFreshLiving for helping us share our message to “Disconnect to Reconnect.” #utpol kutv.com/features/fresh…

Too much screen time can delay speech, interfere with motor skills, disrupt sleep, and hinder emotional and social development. It’s not just about what our kids are watching-it’s also about what they’re missing when screens replace real-world connection. deseret.com/opinion/2025/0…

This provides a great framework for Utah as we work to keep our kids safe online. Luckily we’ve already been working on several of these, but there is always more work to be done. #utpol #utleg

This is the best essay I've ever read for helping policymakers understand how best to improve the online world for kids. @RaviDataIyer lays out 4 goals and 8 principles. Focus on design, not content moderation. At AfterBabel.com afterbabel.com/p/eight-policy…

Fascinating that some of the greatest researchers in the world have finally proven that the ancient philosophers and religious leaders were right all along: real and lasting happiness simply comes from connecting with and serving others.

Utah showed up for teachers today with a record crowd! Thanks to all of the educators and community leaders who were able to join us for the Show Up for Teachers conference. You chose to spend part of your summer sharing ideas, recharging, and strengthening the work you do for…

For most boys, the biggest missing "role model" is Dad. NYT acknowledging: "Growing up without a father at home, as 1-in-5 children do, particularly disadvantages boys, several studies have shown." My recent @UVA report w/ @IanVRowe @RichardvReeves concurs:

It was a great honor to join @nicdunnutah and @DrBethAkers on the @SutherlandInst podcast with my colleague Melinda Brock from @aibm_org to chat about the decline of male enrollment in higher education, the value of college, and how we can create pathways for upward mobility.

Leaders from Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and other faith traditions across the state have reached out to say they’re joining together in prayer and fasting this Sunday. With divine help and thoughtful choices, we’ll get through this fire season.

It would be irresponsible of Congress to ban states from regulating AI. Glad to see American voters feel the same. #utpol

Today, in collaboration with governors across the West, I’m launching Energy Superabundance — an initiative to expand production, modernize transmission, and support the advanced technologies that will power a more reliable and affordable grid. We’re unlocking prosperity for…

This is a great chance to ‘Disconnect to Reconnect’ and improve mental wellbeing and relationships. Join us June 9-15 for Family Connection Week. #utpol #OfficeofFamilies

When are we going to admit as a society that porn is damaging our kids? This article is a wake-up call for those who think it's harmless. #utpol #OfficeofFamilies afterbabel.com/p/the-mass-tra…

The SLCo Council approved the My County Rec Pass and today we got an update. Since the program started last June, 78,828 kids ages 0-18 have signed up. This programs gets kids off screens, improves health and gives them more opportunities to connect. #utpol #slco

Keep in mind that @tvilleut was unincorporated until 1996. Because the county controlled land-use until that time, the city didn’t really get a chance to plan because it was mostly built out. There’s a reason that we support wall-to-wall cities in #slco. Local control is best.
