I love the beauty of Utah’s people and geography. I’m grateful to be here to celebrate her 127th birthday.
Happy birthday Utah!

It was awesome to be in the room with so many artists whose design helped inspire the final Beehive flag.

Sen. @danmccay recognized many of the finalists who submitted designs for the new state flag. We loved seeing all of the artists and designers who played a part in the final design of Utah’s proposed new state flag!

Utah's symbol is the beehive, which means "working hard together." Which flag will spread this symbolism more and make it easier to see? In 1 year the new flag will have greater use than the old has had in 110 years. Keep both! And let each flag do what it does best!

One of the things that makes the #newUtahflag so special is that it came from Utahns! Not only from the designs and public input of tens of thousands of Utahns, but more than 100 volunteers helped in the process. Some of the orgs that those volunteers represented: #utpol #Utah

Looks like the new Beehive flag was a little late to the rally, probably showing deference to the current state flag.

Utah is one of the higher per capita taxed states in the Country. I'm grateful my colleagues and I are working on substantial tax relief this year to reduce the burden on Utah families.

Dan Jones surveyed 601 Utahns:
“Utah lawmakers may consider legislation that would allow parents to use the tax dollars designated for their child's education to send their child to the public or private school. Would you support or oppose this?

In the near future, the Beehive flag will become the “civic flag” and be used more day to day, while the Ceremonial flag will be more “sophisticated” and used for official governmental purposes.
Both flags will represent us and they’ll do it together.

The testimony of yesterday is still on my mind today. Some only see hate, I ask them to see Chloe’s story also.
Is it possible that the law has a duty to protect children from this harm?

I hope more people will give the new Beehive flag a chance. I love it more each day and in some ways it makes me love Utah more too.

It’s a somber day, leaves a huge hole in the Utah Senate and will be missed.
Much love Karen!

As part of redistricting, on January 1, 2023, we will receive a new district number. Currently, we are 11, but we will be known as 18. It is an honor to serve you and I encourage you to reach out and continue to be involved in the legislative process

It was fun to walk out my front door and see the wind flying the #BeehiveFlag.
Until today it had been hanging limp—which was still more recognizable than the current flag.

This year, Utah's budget will be the biggest in state history at an estimated $28.4 billion for fiscal year 2024. A major focus of the budget will be cutting taxes for Utahns. The Legislature will continue to prioritize cutting taxes and giving Utahns back their hard-earned money

Our state is blessed with incredible teachers who perform invaluable work. To show our appreciation for the critical work our teachers do and to combat the state educator shortage, the Legislature will look to increase teacher salaries during this legislative session.
