In the wake of the recent and heartbreaking school shooting, our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and the entire community. The loss of innocent lives is a tragedy beyond words.

As a firm supporter of the Second Amendment, I believe in the right to bear arms—but that right comes with a critical responsibility. Recent tragedies, like the one in Lehi where a child found a loaded gun and accidentally shot himself, remind us that negligence can have fatal consequences. We must secure our firearms and educate our children about gun safety. Protect your family by being a responsible gun owner. Secure it, teach it, live it.

Recently, I had the profound honor of speaking at the unveiling of a new historical marker in front of the Lehi Memorial Building. The event gave me a chance to reflect on the incredible spirit of service, sacrifice, and community that has long been a part of Lehi’s history. As someone who deeply values the heritage of our town and the sacrifices of those who served, it was a meaningful moment to stand before my fellow citizens and honor the legacy of Lehi’s veterans and pioneers.

This November, Utahns have a chance to protect our initiative process from outside influence while ensuring our laws stay flexible. This amendment doesn’t take power from voters—it preserves it! Learn how the amendment protects your voice and Utah’s values.
