    Today Utah Democrats voted to join Evan McMullin’s independent coalition and NOT nominate a candidate for U.S. Senate. I’m proud to be part of this coalition. Together we can win this race and defeat Mike Lee. #utpol

    Mike Lee was a ringleader in a seditious conspiracy that left the Constitution hanging by a thread. The revelations today about Mike Lee’s relentless efforts to undermine American democracy will go down as a dark stain in Utah political history. #utpol

    Today, I spoke with Rep. Mia Love who called to graciously congratulate me on the outcome of the election. I thanked her for her service to our state and country. I wish her the best. There’s a tremendous amount of work to get done and we need bipartisan unity to do it. #utpol

    It’s a beautiful new day. Today, we are not Republicans or Democrats. Today, we are Americans. 🇺🇸 #utpol

    Last week, my daughter asked what I was proud of from my service in Congress. I told her about plans to create a women’s history museum so we can learn about and honor women’s contributions. I was proud to cosponsor the bill. Then this happened. #utpol

    Today, I called Burgess Owens to congratulate him on winning this election. I am so grateful for the opportunities I've had to serve Utahns. #utpol

    1/ Today, I’m announcing my support for Evan McMullin in the US Senate race. My decision may upset some. I know I won’t agree with every position Evan takes. To fix what’s broken in our politics, it’s time to try something new. #utpol deseret.com/opinion/2021/1…

    It is the job of election officials to decide what votes count, not political candidates. Rep. Love's decision to sue only in SLCo as she continues to trail in this race is unfortunate and smacks of desperation. Utah voters deserve better than this. #utpol

    Packing up my office in DC and trying to decide what to do with this gem from my friends at the Radio From Hell Show that has accompanied me for 8 years of public service. Maybe the National Portrait Gallery wants it? #utpol @RFHGina @RFHKerry @rfhbill

    With Salt Lake County's numbers now reported, Ben McAdams will hold a news conference at campaign HQ in Millcreek at 6:30 p.m. to talk w/news media. Time to put election year politics aside, come together to get things done in Congress for Utah families.

    Thank you @GovHerbert! I have enjoyed working with you as Mayor and look forward to continuing to work for the benefit of Team Utah in Washington.
    Congratulations to @BenMcAdams. He has worked hard to represent the citizens of Salt Lake County and I believe he will put the same dedication into representing his district in D.C. #utpol

    First debate of the 116th Congress was between my kids and @RashidaTlaib ‘s kids about what is more monumental: being the first one in 2019 to dab on the House floor or the first to floss? #utpol

    I work hard to represent everyone. You may not agree with every decision I make. You know my heart is in the right place. I listen. I work to bring people together and find solutions. #utpol #utdebates
