After a second try, test results came back positive for Covid-19. Have been experiencing classic symptoms..like so many others, my goal is to keep my family safe. Though isolated temporarily, we’ve never been more energized in this important race for Governor. The work goes on!

My bio is long and boring, no need. But you need to know I care deeply about ensuring the future of the greatest state in America. #HuntsmanGov2020
Jon Huntsman’s Tweets
America was built on free and fair elections. Still the envy of the planet. Once we lose sight of the things that bind us, how are we ever going to fix those things that divide us? As a Country First Republican, let’s get the basics right for the sake of the next generation. 🇺🇸
Honored and humbled to serve our great country as U.S. Ambassador to Russia. Looking forward to joining America's Embassy team in Moscow.
Bad news - love of my life, Mary Kaye, tested positive for #Covid_19. Good news - I’m now fully recovered & can be her caregiver without worry. Rest of our gang has been tested again. Praying they avoid it! These aren’t easy days, let’s love each other a little more. #covidhouse
Mary Kaye and I congratulate our new POTUS/VPOTUS-elect. Transitions in power are a moment of celebration for some but high anxiety for others. The Joe Biden I know will embrace all Americans with calm and a much needed sense of humanity. Let’s heal our wounds.
Three generations of Jons. Two of them were reunited today for the first time in almost a year. Nothing quite like it, just a dad and a son. And a love for this great country 🇺🇸

Something stinks in Salt Lake City. Best friends Mitt Romney and Mike Leavitt supporting different candidates in Utah. Keep an eye on this.
I’m thrilled has decided to join our campaign team full time as a senior advisor! Her years of experience on the national stage will be an enormous asset to our campaign. Excited to have her energy on the trail. Family is everything!
It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of the Great State of Utah. When Mary Kaye and I returned from our service in Russia, our family decided to throw its hat in the ring. 1/9
Memorable swearing in today in Utah. Grateful to for his trust. Now back to Moscow to rejoin America's best embassy team.
To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.
Weekends just got a whole lot better! So proud of this hard working girl officially named co-host of weekend.
Best decision of my life! twitter.com/oliverandarthu

I’m on my 4th day of confinement due to testing positive for #COVID19. Fatigue levels are still high, and this virus is pretty disruptive to your metabolism. I’m grateful for my health generally, and I’m confident I’ll get through this. Stay healthy everyone.

Wishing Utah’s new Governor and Abby the very best as he begins his new journey as the 18th Governor of the beehive state.
Congrats to son Will commissioned a naval officer today! His bro Jon III still outranks him. #USNavy
It’s been a few days since I received a positive COVID diagnosis. I’m doing well even though symptoms are present. I sympathize with the mental health dimension of this disease, since it does create a sense of anxiety and uncertainty into homes. We’re going to get through this.
2:15
The more I think about the $8m the state was ready to spend on unproven COVID drugs, the more questions I have. Taxpayers deserve an independent investigation into Pillgate to know who made the decision, what their money was buying & why. #utpol
Glad to be running for office in a state where civility and respect in a campaign can co-exist. Our national debate is an abomination.
Honor to host in Utah to talk cancer cures . No politics, just lifting the human condition.
Public service is in our blood and whatever our next chapter may hold, I am confident we will find a way to continue to contribute to the good of our community.
God bless the Great State of Utah. 9/9
Beautiful send off! Now it’s time to put you to work on the campaign trail!

Mental health is a cancer that’s eating away at every family, every community. If I’m lucky enough to be elected, I’m going to declare WAR on this insidious disease, because too many good men & women, kids & families have been ship wrecked by something we don’t fully understand.
Thanks Mitt. Most grateful.

Congratulations to Jon Huntsman Jr. on confirmation as Ambassador to Russia. His experience and clear-eyed resolve are badly needed.
Thank you to everyone for wishing me and my family well. Like so many around the world, we are working through the challenges of a positive COVID-19 diagnoses. We are going to get through this, and we are confident Team Huntsman is even more energized to finish this race strong.

Love spying on @JonHuntsman preparing for a speech tonight. Notice how he still hand writes his thoughts. So old school!
Mary Kaye and I congratulate and Abby on their victory tonight. Kudos to as well for running a respectable race. Many important challenges ahead for a state we all love. Let’s all pull together and make it happen!
Received a call from saying they had given me wrong results. Still awaiting my results from COVID-19 test last Friday. No word on family members either. Very illuminating to see the process firsthand. #utpol @UtahCoronavirus
.@GOPLeader McCarthy just got "Chaffetzed."Something I know a little something about. #selfpromoter #powerhungry
So much gratitude this day. Flag still flies majestically on morning run w/my Navy boys/son-in-law.
RIP Kobe. The world has lost a legend but gained a reminder of how precious life is. Hug your loved ones. #mamba
I have an update from isolation. My heart goes out to others who have been infected with COVID-19. It's an unpredictable illness, where you feel OK, then it clobbers you. Our campaign has never been more motivated to lead this state for the next four years. Vote Huntsman/Kaufusi!
2:03
There is an end in sight for the isolation period. My health is improving each day. I made it through the debate last night, and I think it went well. did a great job.
2:20
's speech was the most important of this election cycle. Let's join our new POTUS and unify. Congrats to the trump family.
Still in anguish over the passing of great American, Herman Cain, from #COVID19. We shared fun times and memories during the 2012 Presidential campaign, including spoof videos and coordinating yellow ties for debates. Thinking of his sweet family. #hugelegacy
We’re into day 6 of strict isolation in the Huntsman home. As has been the case for the last few days, I’ve been experiencing the roller-coaster symptoms of COVID-19. I’m definitely starting to miss the social interaction with the loved ones in my household.
2:15
George Floyd's legacy will live on. Americans have a great system. It is sometimes practiced imperfectly, but historically we have done the hard work of fixing the imperfections in our system. We will do it again. This is my hope, and prayer, and dream.

While son Will didn't make the cut for Cruz's VP, he did stand next to POTUS for commander in chief trophy. #GoNavy
Nancy Reagan passing, while sad for all Americans, serves as a timely reminder of how toxic our politics have become. We must return.
"What is the one thing that the Chinese Communist Party fears most? They hate transparency. We need more voices coordinated in this country, even at the state level, that speak out about what happened, the lying, the cheating, and the disinformation."
When you see helicopters circling your capital and armed personnel carriers on the ground In a place like Moscow or Beijing, it’s an admission that you have failed in the most basic task of carrying on a dialogue with those with whom you disagree.

I've never felt better prepared to lead this state. Soon this election will be over, and only one question will remain: Who can lead? I believe Utah can become the crossroads of the world. I won't settle for less.

Proud to receive the endorsement from my first grandson, Harrison Hernandez. With bold leadership, we will emerge stronger from this crisis and make Utah the Crossroads of the World, to secure the future for Harrison's generation and those to come!

Over the last few days, I’ve been a bit under the weather (the price you pay with a house full of little grandkids). My doctor recommended a COVID-19 test, which came back negative. Hugely grateful for our heroic healthcare workers who are doing remarkable work. Stay healthy!
Can't get my mind off Orlando. One certainty, love as world's most powerful force will defeat hate! We will come out even stronger.
Three in a line of Jons who cherished and continue to cherish the most important role of all, that of being a dad. It’s also my late dad’s birthday, which gives today extra special meaning. Missing him everyday. #HappyFathersDay2020
If coronavirus hasn’t gotten your attention, this mornings earthquake sure did. Have seen and heard reports of many checking in and helping neighbors. That’s the strength on our great state. These are unsettling times, but Utah will emerge stronger than ever.
Totally agree

Every Utah citizen should be concerned about ballot access. When everything has been upended with #COVIDー19, we too need to change how we proceed to make sure it’s a fair & honest primary. In a national emergency, it’s imperative that the governors office preserves our democracy
Never been more proud of this courageous girl - my own daughter @HuntsmanLiddy

Fridge is now empty. Invasion by Navy's football team. America's best. No Trump/Palin supporters among them.

By this time tomorrow, we'll start getting our first results from the Republican Primary Election. Make sure your voice is heard by turning in your ballots. It has been a great pleasure connecting with you! #utpol

This poll confirms the momentum we’ve felt building over the past weeks. Utahns are rightfully anxious about the economic challenges we face, and this is no time to think small. Our plan to double Utah’s economy is resonating, and we will continue to work for every vote. #utpol
Back in New Hampshire with partner in crime . Packed house tonight in Manchester! #problemsolvers #carselfie
Utah has spent $100M on Covid, and just $1M on suicide prevention. Yet 8x more have died by suicide than Covid over last 12 months. Suicide remains leading cause of death for Utahns 10-24. As I’ve said from day one, I will declare war on this insidious disease of mental illness.

Utahns aspire to live up to the promise of our national ideal of e pluribus unum - out of many one. Lawlessness and anarchy are not solutions. Let’s rise above the anger and create a better world with more compassion, better listening, and a commitment to understanding.

Reminiscing today on the impact New Hampshire had on our family four yrs ago. Memories we will never forget. #FITN
We have never seen anything like the social and economic fallout that has occurred from the COVD-19 response. If you're like me, you're probably sick of hearing the word "unprecedented." However, I believe our comeback will also be unprecedented. #utpol #allinhuntsman

Thoughts are with Romney and his family. Hard fought campaign. The GOP will always have a future if it remembers to put country first.
Can't help but see great optimism in Utah's future when surrounded by red rock and blue sky. As we enter a new decade, let’s all pull together to make Utah the crossroads of the world with opportunity for all.
#huntsmangov2020
Today the race was called, and we accept the will of the people, as is our tradition as Americans. The visions put forward for Utah were very different, and regret that I will not be leading the efforts in moving us towards a new horizon. 3/9
Midshipman Huntsman morphs into an Officer at US Naval Academy. Congratulations class of 2014!
And most important of all was the support of my own family, who remind me every day one's most cherished possessions in life are those immediately around them. 8/9
Great to be back in New Hampshire! Still have a fan in Isaac the goat.

However, I am heartened by the record voter turnout we saw in this primary election and I hope every eligible voter will exercise this most sacred right in November. 5/9

I was the Grand Marshall at today’s NASCAR race in Tooele. Some campaign events are pure joy!
Our community’s collective heart is broken right now with the passing of our dear friend Bob Garff, who’s family’s impact can be summed up in one word - massive. Had the privilege of his company just a few weeks ago. Never take life for granted. Not now, not ever.
We were encouraged by many to apply our experience from four decades of public service to help our home state reach its destiny and full potential. Today, I am as sure as ever that Utah can become not just the Crossroads of the West, but the Crossroads of the World. 2/9
#Tbt to when I was 18. I should have just stayed in the mud...oh yeah, I did. I went into politics. #motocross
Utah’s economy can’t wait on the federal gov’t. With early $1 billion of taxpayer money in state coffers, the state should offer zero-interest loans to get funds to Utah businesses.
"Gov. Walker broke barriers & shattered stereotypes for the benefit of all Utahns. Her indomitable spirit lives on"
Since announcing our run just eight short months ago, we've had an incredible team of supporters & volunteers who have worked through unimaginable circumstances to move this campaign forward. Leading that list is my running mate, Mayor , and her remarkable family. 6/9
