Highs and lows coming to you from my Washington, D.C. office. My high this week is my bride of 43 years was able to be with me in D.C. That always makes the week a little bit better. And I brought from my garden in Utah grapes to share with my staff. I think that was their high of the week.

The low is, it’s just so frustrating that we can't really all come to consensus on the fact that we have to tone down this rhetoric, and that some of the sources it’s coming from are not healthy. Particularly, I want to give our governor a shout-out, especially for some of his comments about the internet, which I’m totally in line with. I have some legislation that I'm working on to try to deal with social media, and I know the state is as well. Hope you all have a great weekend, and it's an honor to serve.

Senator Curtis had the solemn honor of paying tribute to Officer Eric Estrada and Sergeant Lee Sorensen—first at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and then on the Senate floor. May we always remember their courage, and honor their sacrifice.





Full story by Jeff Tavss here.



Senator Curtis expressed heartbreak over the loss of three Pennsylvania officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. Having recently honored fallen officers at Arlington, he emphasized his prayers are with the families of the fallen and the injured.





Senator Curtis met with the American Chemistry Council to discuss how innovation in chemistry can help drive American energy independence, economic growth, and environmental stewardship — three goals Utahns care deeply about.





Senator Curtis shared the following statement commemorating Constitution Day and its role in safeguarding liberty:

Today we celebrate the Constitution, the foundation of our Republic and the safeguard of our freedoms. It reminds us that America is strongest when we anchor ourselves to principle, defend liberty, and protect our god given rights. May we each recommit to preserving this inspired document for generations to come.





Senator Curtis shared the following statement honoring the life and legacy of Robert Redford:

I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the life and legacy of Robert Redford. His vision with Sundance and his dedication to preserving the beauty of Utah’s outdoors have touched every corner of our state.

Through the Sundance Film Festival, he not only elevated Utah on the world stage but also inspired us to see the power of art, storytelling, and nature. His love for this place mirrors my own, and I am profoundly grateful for the way he enriched Utah and left behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations.
