This wasn’t an easy lift! We spent years fighting for funds (both me and @JenSeeligUT). This is a huge victory for survivors and advocates. They are the reason I never backed down. We did it! @ENDTHEBACKLOG #endthebacklog #utleg #utpol

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.

A video of a young boy telling his mom about anti-immigrant harassment he faced while playing soccer has gone viral. CBS News spoke with the mother who filmed her son, Max, as he cried about the bullying he faced. She said she did not post the video to create controversy, but instead to remind people "how deeply our words and actions can effect one another, especially our children." In the video, the boy says another child told he was an illegal immigrant and that he should go back to his country, despite the fact he was born in America.

Good news out of Utah! 🎉 HB 89 has been reintroduced by Minority Leader @repangelaromero, advancing an important protection for survivors: the right to not be compelled to submit to a polygraph. This bill could positively impact 850,000 survivors, helping move the justice system toward dignity, autonomy, and survivor-centered care. Every step like this brings us closer to a justice system that truly puts survivors first. ✨

We’re thrilled to announce our new leadership elected to serve alongside our President Rep. Juan Candelaria! Please join us in celebrating this next chapter for our Caucus, and learn more here: nhcsl.org/media/news/nhc…

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Shutdowns aren’t inevitable — they’re a failure of will. In 2019, we proposed a simple fix: automatic budget carry-overs to keep the gov’t open. No more holding workers and gov’t services hostage. Here’s how ➡️ nhcsl.org/resources/reso…

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Statement from @RepAngelaRomero on the shooting of Charlie Kirk on UVU’s campus

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.
