Utahns for Representative Government Files Direct Initiative to Restore Constitutional Order

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – With continued groundswell of support from Utahns across the state to restore constitutional order, Utahns for Representative Government remains committed to defending the people’s voice.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- The Utah Republican Party and I strongly condemn the callous and despicable behavior of George Zinn. For over twenty years, many Utahns at various public and Republican events showed grace to someone with clear mental challenges.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- We are grateful to law enforcement and all who helped bring the suspect into custody. We commend the leadership of President Trump, Governor Cox, Director Patel, Sheriff Smith and local officers who worked tirelessly and with courage.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Once again, certain members of Utah’s judiciary abandon the principles of our Constitutional Republic. Using earlier flawed rulings to justify their opinions over the principles of our founding is a special kind of hubris — Judicial Activism in Action!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Our hearts are with the families, friends, and colleagues of the Tremonton-Garland officers whose lives were tragically lost, as well as those who were injured. We offer our deepest prayers, love, and support to all who are grieving and to the entire law enforcement community during this difficult time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- Sen. Mike Lee is doing exactly what Utahns elected him to do — advocate for his state. For generations, Utah and other Western states have faced serious challenges due to excessive federal control of public lands. While debate is healthy, the half-truths and outright misinformation being spread about Senator Lee’s proposal distort the issue and undermine honest dialogue. Productive discussion must be rooted in facts — not false narratives meant to divide and distract.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- The Utah Republican Party supports the constitutional right of Americans to peacefully protest. Peaceful expression is a foundational American liberty—even when we disagree with the views expressed.

But let us be absolutely clear: violence, lawlessness, and rioting are not protest—they are criminal acts. Those who block law enforcement, destroy property, threaten public safety, or violently intimidate are not engaging in free speech. They must be held accountable.

We are a nation of laws. Protest is not a justification for chaos and law breaking. We stand firmly with the brave men and women of law enforcement who protect our communities and borders. We commend the elected officials who refuse to back down in the face of intimidation masquerading as victimhood.

The Utah Republican Party calls for the immediate arrest and full prosecution of anyone who breaks the law, threatens public safety, or obstructs justice. Utah will not accept lawless agitators.
