Highs and lows from Cedar City, where we’re bolstering our domestic critical minerals supply chain with a new antimony processing facility!

Members of Congress shouldn't get paid if we can't fulfill our most basic duties to keep the government open. Proud to vote for this resolution to withhold senators' pay during a government shutdown.
Senate Republicans passed legislation to make sure no member of Congress is paid during a government shutdown.
If Democrats decide to hold federal workers hostage again, they’ll have to give up their paychecks as well.

Highs and Lows from the Clearway Honeycomb Energy Center here in Iron County, Utah!
With above-normal fire conditions on the horizon, it’s more important than ever that we modernize our wildfire policy.
