With nearly 60 percent of Utah’s lands managed by the federal government, I am fighting hard as a member of the House Natural Resources Committee to ensure that our rural counties have the economic development and resources they need to prosper.

Our National Parks and recreation areas are an important component of Utah’s thriving economy, and I am committed to protecting and preserving our natural treasures for many generations to come. Here’s what I’m doing in the Natural Resources Committee to protect those lands and support responsible energy development.
