2026 General Session Week 1 with Rep. Thompson
|
|
Hello District 3, and welcome back to the Utah Legislative Session!
It’s great to be on the Hill working with my colleagues to improve the great state of Utah, and especially Cache Valley!
As we head into the 2026 Session, I remain fully committed to the values of our district that you voted me to represent: affordability, public safety, local control, and a great education for our kids. These values drive every decision I make at the Capitol.

During the session, I’ll be sharing regular updates like these to keep you informed about the work happening on the Hill. This year, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on several key committees where I can directly address critical issues, from government transparency and responsible budgeting to supporting our students and teachers:
- Federalism Commission
- House Education Committee
- House Judiciary Committee
- Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee
In addition to my committee assignments, I will be keeping you posted on the legislation I am sponsoring. Here are a few of the bills currently on my docket:
- H.B. 190 Child Care Business Tax Credit
- H.B. 265 Non-nicotine Inhalation Product Amendments
- S.B. 58 Public School Attendance Amendments

Legacy Forward Foundation
|
|
|
In case you missed the news last week, I officially launched the Legacy Forward Foundation.
I founded this organization to serve as a facilitator and funding source for schools dedicated to teaching essential leadership principles. This mission is deeply personal: throughout my life, leaders showed up for me exactly when I needed them most. I want to pay that forward, ensuring today's students receive the same life-changing guidance that shaped my youth. Simply put, without the mentors who invested in me, I would not be where I am today.
To learn more about the background and vision of the foundation, please check out the articles below:

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me through my legislative page with any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have. I want to hear from you!
Thank you,
