This year, our priorities are organized around a simple idea:
our love for Utah. That love is what brought us into public service and what motivates us to fight for our communities every day. We serve because we care deeply about this state and the people who call it home. We show up because Utahns deserve safety, fairness, opportunity, and a real voice in the decisions that shape their lives.
For the Love of Utah is our love letter to this state, and to you.
​
It is also a commitment. A commitment to learn from the past, to be honest about the challenges Utah families are facing today, and to protect the future we are building together. It means standing up for our shared values, defending our democratic institutions, and choosing solutions rooted in dignity, accountability, and care for one another. Everything we are working on in this session flows from this promise.
This is our commitment. This is our work.
​
This is, for the love of Utah.

“This year, our work is guided by a simple promise to put people first and care for the place we all call home,” said Senate Democratic Leader Luz Escamilla. “We chose For the Love of Utah because love is why we serve. Utah isn’t an abstract idea to us. It’s families, workers, kids, seniors, and neighbors. At a time when politics feels divided and impersonal, we are grounding our work in what actually motivates us: caring for people, honoring our shared history, and taking responsibility for the future.”
