The laws we've passed are working. Chinese companies are selling their properties and divesting from Utah, and we're stopping CCP companies from buying more land. Utah is not for sale.
We had an incredible morning at This Is the Place Pioneer Park! If you haven’t taken your family recently, you need to go! The historic sites, interactive actives and immersive learning experience for kids make our pioneer heritage come to life. Definitely going to be a new…
Happy Pioneer Day! Today, we honor the incredible courage, grit, and conviction of the early Latter-day saint pioneers who blazed a trail of faith and sacrifice across the American frontier to find a place they could call home; today, we celebrate their victorious arrival in the…
Awesome night at the Days of 47 Rodeo! I love that we dedicate the full week to commemorating our statehood and honoring our pioneer heritage. It was Benji’s first time seeing a hand cart (which he couldn’t believe people pulled across the country) and Quincy wanted to climb into…
Last week, Utah drew a clear line: no adversarial foreign buyers on our soil. Thanks to Rep. Candice Pierucci’s strong legislation, we blocked a land purchase near the Provo Airport by a company tied to the Chinese military. Utahns will always defend our land, our values, and…
The homelessness & drug crisis on our streets is real, and it affects families across our state in a number of ways. Fentanyl, meth, mental health challenges, and economic hardship create layers of complexity to a human issue. Since getting elected, I’ve worked hard with my…
Thanks to @RepMikeKennedy - Utah was able to prohibit CBDC from being introduced into our state. Congressman Kennedy said it best - "If the Chineese Communist Party wants to use CBDC, that tells us everything we need to know." #UtahLeads
Major victory for financial freedom! This week, the House passed H.R. 1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act which I co-sponsored, and H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. These laws will bring clarity to digital assets and protect Americans from government…
Brigham Young and the Latter-day Saints walked from Illinois to Salt Lake City and turned a desert into a thriving metro with settlements across the West. One of the great feats in American history.
Thank you @BurgessOwens!
From the Inland Port to the FrontRunner project to hosting the 2032 Olympics, Utah builds fast, finishes under budget, and thinks big. Glad to welcome @USDOT @SecDuffy to @TransportGOP and grateful to have strong partners as we invest in Utah’s future.
WINNING: American leaders like @CandicePierucci fight the CCP and win back every inch of American soil. “We will not be intimidated by authoritarianism masquerading as progress.” This is how you stop CCP bullies.
We’re sending a clear message to the CCP: Utah is not for sale. Religious liberty is not a bargaining chip. And we will not stand by while adversaries try to undermine our democracy. Thank you to Rep. @CandicePierucci, the Utah legislature, and so many others working to protect…
In 2023 and 2024, we ran legislation to prohibit restricted adversarial foreign entities, like China, from purchasing and owning land in our state. Not only does the law prohibit the Chinese government from owning land, but also its subsidiaries, shell companies, majority owned…
Any company owned by a sanctioned PRC entity that makes fighter jets and drones for the PLA has no business buying U.S. We applaud @GovCox, @CandicePierucci, and Utah leaders for passing legislation that prohibits the sale of state land to PRC entities.
At 6:05 pm today on the @RodandGregShow on @1059KNRS - Representative @CandicePierucci joins the program for a conversation about putting a 2024 law passed by the Utah Legislature to work and banning foreign entities, like China and North Korea, from owning land in Utah.
This plan gets it wrong. If we’re serious about improving regional transit, we should start by fixing what’s broken. TRAX lines that dead-end in South Jordan & Draper don’t serve commuters. Connecting the red & blue lines should be the top priority. #utpol ksl.com/article/513354…
A system that lets a high-frequency offender rack up 35+ cases escalating from drugs & theft to stolen vehicles & high-speed chases without meaningful intervention is not compassionate to ANYONE. To the families of Hunter & Odin: I am so sorry. ksl.com/article/513424…
The Chinese Communist Party continues to stifle religious freedom, harassing and persecuting people for their faith. No government should fear worship or an individuals’ freedom of conscience. We stand with all who fight for the right to believe freely and will continue to push…
Religious liberty is not a bargaining chip. Utah will always stand for the right to worship freely, and we reject any attempt—foreign or domestic—to silence that right through coercion or pressure. This is about religious freedom and national security, and we'll always defend…
Update: This week I had the chance to meet with the Department of Public Safety and SIAC. They have been conducting investigations of properties owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its subsidiaries, shell companies, and by companies headquartered across the state. They’ve…
Both in 2024 and 2025 I ran legislation to stop China, Russia, North Korea and Iran and their subsidiaries from owning and purchasing land in Utah. If the company is headquartered in China, they can’t own land. The Department of Public Safety is actively conducting investigations…
OMG — @NYTimes finally reported on ICE arresting child rapist illegal aliens! Just kidding. They continue to ignore it. So we made it their front page. ➡️Juan Manuel Parra-Reyes, 29, illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of child rape — arrested by ICE in Utah.
