Dear Friends,

Thank you for the opportunity to update you on the work of the 113th Congress. I trust this finds you and your family well. I wanted to highlight a few of things I did while I was traveling through Utah's 2nd Congressional District last week.

Traveling Mobile Office:

The 2nd Congressional District stretches across a large portion of Utah. While I have offices in Salt Lake City and St. George, I also want to be available to constituents that live in all corners of the district. To accommodate these individuals, I've launched a 'mobile office' program, where I set up temporary offices in various counties and towns to meet withconstituents, business and local leaders. This last week I set up mobile offices in Fillmore, Cedar City and Tooele. It's critical that I hear the questions and concerns of constituents, as it helps shape policy priorities in Washington. If you are interested in meeting with me at one of my mobile office locations, request a meeting on my website.

Visit to the Utah Legislature:

Our Utah State legislature is truly doing remarkable things. I was honored to visit the Legislature last week and report to them on what I've been working on in Congress for the last year. As I mentioned to both Utah's House and Senate, I wish the federal government could be as productive as Utah's government, which continues to pass meaningful legislation helping the state. As I spoke to the legislature, one of the main ideas I shared with them, was the importance of federalism. More often than not, Utah — not the federal government— knows what's best for its people. I want to reduce the size and influence of the federal government and give more power to the states. For more information on what I shared with Utah's legislature, you can read articles in the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune.

Meeting with Schools and Community Leaders:

While traveling through the Utah last week, I spoke to students at Bountiful High School and Fillmore Middle School about the biggest challenges facing our nation. These are my favorite kind of speaking engagements. In addition to being friendly and energetic, these students were also knowledgeable about the government and asked very insightful questions. These students, teachers and administratiors should be very proud. In addition to meeting with schools, I was able to meet with the Mayors of Fillmore, Bountiful, CedarCity and Salt Lake County. These local leaders are all doing incredible things to represent their constituents.

The Week Ahead:

This week the House is expected to vote and debate on legislation the Stop's Government Abuse. Visit the House Majority Leader’s website for the most up-to-date information.
