U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the SAVE America Act with Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) — an expanded version of their widely supported SAVE Act. The SAVE America Act requires Voter ID to vote in federal elections in addition to the original bill’s proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration. “The SAVE America Act makes our original SAVE Act better. President Trump rightly believes we should include Voter ID in this bill as we make a renewed push to secure our elections and protect the rights of […]

Today, Dave Robinson—a longtime Salt Lake City resident, housing innovator, and grassroots operative—officially filed his Notice of Intent to Gather Signatures for Candidacy for Utah’s 1st Congressional District. Robinson is running on a platform of “Governing: Not Division and Empty Promises,” positioning himself as a results-oriented alternative to the political establishment’s “uniparty” and extreme activist candidates who are light on successes and heavy on rhetoric. With an emphasis on transparency, due process, and accountability, Robinson says, “I’m not a career politician or an outrage […]

The Office of the Utah Attorney General has unveiled an exciting new initiative: the Federalism and Strategic Litigation Section. This bold move enhances Utah’s ability to safeguard its sovereignty, defend its constitutional authority, and influence national legal battles. Led by litigators Josh Cutler and Mark Gillespie—authorities in constitutional law and complex litigation—this new section is set to make a significant impact. Utah Attorney General Derek Brown highlighted the importance of federalism to the U.S. Constitution, and emphasized that federalism requires that states are ready and willing to defend their constitutional […]

Last month, SVS (formerly known as South Valley Services) proudly expanded its services to Carbon and Emery Counties, marking a significant milestone in its mission to support survivors and families across a broader region.

Privacy […]

The Utah State Bar has taken formal positions on several additional bills and resolutions introduced during the 2026 General Session that directly affect the judiciary, judicial procedures and access to justice. These positions were adopted following reviews and recommendations by the Bar’s Governmental Relations Committee (GRC) and subsequent votes on those recommendations by the Utah State Board of Bar Commissioners. While the proposals vary in scope and subject matter, several raise continued concerns about legislative overreach into core judicial functions, […]

Following a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing to consider the nomination of Jeremy Carl to be Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations, U.S. Senator John Curtis (R-UT) announced that he will oppose Mr. Carl’s nomination and released the following statement: “After reviewing his record and participating in today’s hearing, I do not believe that Jeremy Carl is the right person to represent our nation’s best interests in international forums, and I find his anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about […]
