The Elephant Club’s Session Newsletter is a weekly explainer published during the legislative session. It focuses on complex bills that benefit from plain-English explanations. Each issue highlights 1 bill, explains what it does, why it was introduced, and provides updates as the bill moves through the process.

Message from the Chairman:

This season draws us back to the quiet miracle of Bethlehem—the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life affirms that truth is real, redemption is possible, and every soul is known and loved by God. Utah families of many faiths celebrate their own stories of light and deliverance; though our traditions differ, they share a common message:

Message from the Chairman:

Our form of government is not perfect, but it is divinely inspired. It recognizes that freedom is best protected when authority is balanced, when accountability is clear, and when decisions are made by those elected to serve. This structure allows individuals, families, and communities to thrive under the protection of law and the blessing of liberty.

Message from the Chairman:

In moments of darkness, we must stand firm in the light of truth. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the murder of faithful Saints remind us why our voice and our values matter.

For Republicans, freedom, responsibility, limited government, and strong families are not slogans—they are guiding truths. They shape communities, inspire service, and strengthen the state we love.

Ultimately life is meant for us to be engaged in being good and decent while boldly defending truth. Political engagement must be forum for that pursuit.

To the rising generation: we need your energy and conviction. Step forward. Lead boldly. Live your values. And make all of us better with your friendship.

Together, we can drive out darkness with light, and build a future worthy of the sacrifices of those before us.

Sincerely,

We are in a critical fight for Utah's congressional representation, and the deadline to act is rapidly approaching.

A Utah judge has invalidated our congressional maps, and the clock is ticking for the legislature to draw new ones. Outside groups are seizing this opportunity for a "blue takeover" that would fundamentally change Utah’s voice in Washington.

Local Action, Lasting Impact

Big changes rarely begin in Washington—they start right here at home. Local elections may not always make national headlines, but they shape the communities we live in every single day. From school boards to city councils to county commissions, the decisions made at the local level directly impact our families, our freedoms, and our future.

Message from the Chairman: Defending Our Constitutional Republic & Utah’s Constitution

On August 26, Judge Dianna Gibson wrongly struck down Utah’s congressional map. Her ruling twists the law, ignores our constitution, and hands power to unelected judges over the people’s representatives.

We’re excited to announce the results of our recent special election and extend a warm congratulations to Melanie Monestere and Stafford Sievert!

Utah Republicans are stepping up in a big way. Over the past few weeks, our volunteers have traveled to Arizona and Nevada to knock doors and connect with voters—all to help re-elect President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
