The Antiquities Act and the Endangered Species Act should both be reformed to require state approvals and local involvement. The State of Utah should assume management responsibility for select public lands when economically feasible, initially on a pilot basis. The number of visas for crop, livestock, and dairy workers should be decided on the state level rather than the federal level. I support the utilization of all our energy resources including gas, coal, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydro, and solar.

The decision to send troops into a foreign country must be made only when a substantial American interest is at stake. This should be a very high hurdle. We should maintain clear superiority in conventional military capabilities and at least parity in nuclear capabilities. American military strength is the best friend peace has ever known. We must promote our values of freedom and free enterprise through our diplomacy, economic ties, alliances and other soft power tools. When nations attack our infrastructure, elections, technology, or vital interests, we should retaliate and punish their behavior with appropriate and meaningful measures.

Immigration I support legal immigration. I respect and welcome those who have followed the law and have made the United States their home. Our nation is stronger and more vibrant by virtue of a strong legal immigration system. The legal immigration system should be merit based, giving applicants credit for such things as English fluency, having a trade or technical skill, personal savings, and advanced degrees so these individuals may become assets to their communities and prosper in our country.

I firmly oppose illegal immigration. I support measures to secure our national borders. I support a simplified legal status verification system that will allow an employer to know whether a prospective employee is in the United States legally and that will sanction employers who nevertheless hire people here illegally. However, I oppose giving these individuals a special pathway to citizenship. I support ending chain migration and the visa lottery program.

In some instances, nations or companies have cheated on trade agreements and America should take punitive action against them. Further, we have done too little to help American citizens who have been disproportionately impacted by automation and trade policies. I oppose broad-based tariffs but I will support focused tariffs that penalize cheaters and dumping.

Healthcare The Affordable Care Act should be repealed and not replaced by another one-size-fits all bureaucracy. In its place, states should be given flexibility with their Medicaid funds to implement their own programs for caring for the poor.

Health insurance costs must be reined in. I will apply my career experience in healthcare and finance to install market-based incentives to reduce costs. This will include transparency in provider pricing and quality information to consumers. I will promote cost-sharing insurance policies and health savings accounts. Further, I support requiring pharmaceutical companies to spread the cost of drug development with other countries, reducing the huge price inequity Americans experience.

On the supply front: pressure Mexico, China, and other countries to curtail the flow of illegal drugs into the U. On the demand front: provide counseling and treatment for those who want to escape drug addictions; and assure that first responders are equipped with necessary medications to prevent overdose deaths.

Second Amendment I support the second amendment. Gun laws and school safety measures should be established by each state, not imposed by the federal government. I do not support newly proposed federal gun legislation with the exception of the removal of bump stocks for public sale and an updated background check system promoted by Congress and President Trump.

I will defend religious liberty and will only vote to confirm judicial nominees who will fully honor the First Amendment guarantee of the same. Utah Values My parents were both raised in Utah and thus my home was imbued with Utah values; they filled us with the love of God, reverence for freedom, respect for others, and the importance of service, civility, and frugality. Ann and I have enjoyed our residency in Utah for ten years, first during college, while leading the Olympics, and after my career, having made Utah our permanent home.

Action, Not Just Talk By virtue of the relationships I have in Washington, with other senators and the President, I will be able to accomplish more for the people of Utah than the average junior senator. I have built valuable relationships throughout my decades of work in public service, as head of the Salt Lake Olympics, and during my presidential campaigns, that will prepare me to serve the people of Utah through meaningful action.

Talk is cheap but action is essential if we are to overcome the challenges facing our families, our state, and our nation. My record of getting things done in the private sector, community, and government, is evidence that I can and will do what needs to be done for the people of Utah.

Mitt Romney said Tuesday he planned to join the rest of his Republican colleagues in the Senate to filibuster a planned vote on raising the debt ceiling.

If any Republican objects, it will take 60 votes to move forward. Republicans in the equally divided Senate have made it clear they will not support that move. Twice in the last two weeks Senate Republicans have blocked votes on raising the debt limit. The filibuster by Republicans prevents the Democratic-controlled Senate from even debating a measure to raise the debt ceiling.
