This is unfortunate, this was a good bill. Odd that in Utah, it takes a democrat to remove the heavy hand of government. Isn’t that what conservatives used to claim to be?

UGW opposes #HB300 by Rep Burton. This will disproportionally affect rural Utahns making it harder to vote. Elections should be as secure as possible without disenfranchising citizens. This will lower voter participation without measurable impacts to election security. #utpol

Hopefully Governor Cox will veto this if it makes it through the #utleg. UGW is opposed to any bill that makes voting harder without actually addressing the issues with the current system. #utpol

UGW opposes this bill. Contact your senators to make sure it dies in the Senate. #utpol

“If you don’t like my bill, it’s because you’re too dumb to understand it.” - Way too many Utah legislators. #utpol #utleg

UGW eagerly supports HB87, because it addresses the problem without making boogeymen out of an entire group of people. This is the problem, not immigrants. #utpol Matthew Gwynn

Government overreach. Extreme government overreach. They want to make sure they don’t give another Mitt Romney a platform. #utpol

UGW opposes #HB294 by Matt MacPherson. Let public health officials do their job. Leave the tools in the toolbox. This should not be a partisan issue. #utpol

We’re very disappointed that the substitutes which were negotiated in good faith and would have been vast improvements were not adopted. We urge Governor Cox to veto #HB267 and for the sponsor Jordan Teuscher to go back to the table and work in good faith with the affected parties.

Court packing for me but not for thee. As with most things politically, it’s not the idea it principle, but who’s proposing it that matters. To quote POTUS: “It’s very sad.” #utpol Jefferson Moss

If you’re disappointed, then #veto it and send it back to the #utleg to get it right. It’s difficult to find sincerity here.

#utleg proposes controversial bill that’s going to fix all the problems. Property claim that the bill is going to ruin everything and doesn’t really solve anything. Leg responds that the bill isn’t that big of deal and really won’t affect people’s lives. Then why run it??!

UGW opposes #HB445 by Doug Fiefia. This is another bill aimed at “fixing” a system of elections that’s not broken. This would #disenfranchise #Utah voters whose mail-in ballots are delayed by the post office (among other bad things). le.utah.gov/~2025/bills/st… #utpol #utleg

The wisdom of the founders was most evident in the system of checks and balances and three coequal branches of government. Today’s efforts by President Donald J. Trump and the #utleg branches to dismantle the others are a strike at the very foundation of American greatness. #utpol

UGW supports #HB408 School Board Referendum Amendments by Rep Rex Shipp. Government is either subject to referenda by the people or it is not. There’s no reason to have a special carve out for school boards. This is a good bill. #utpol #utleg

UGW is still opposed to 2HB300, a solution in search of a problem. #utpol

There are more cases of measles than there are NCAA trans athletes. You’d never know it listening to lawmakers.

UGW applauds Judge Scott for having the courage to rule on the constitutionality of an Utah statute. This is the role of the judiciary in our (hopefully) enduring system of checks and balances that defines American exceptionalism. #utpol
