Senators Curtis; Lee, Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee; Barrasso, Majority Whip; and Lummis joined Utah Governor Cox and Wyoming Governor Gordon for a meeting on Colorado River negotiations. They discussed the future of the Colorado River Basin and the long-term management of critical water resources, including Flaming Gorge Reservoir and Lake Powell.

In an interview with Heidi Hatch on KUTV 2News, Senator Curtis welcomed the Department of War’s prompt action to correct a recent Department reclassification that failed to recognize The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a Christian faith. The correction was made shortly after Senator Curtis’ office met with officials from the Pentagon on Monday, June 8, 2026.

During an Environment and Public Works Committee hearing examining the Federal Highway Administration’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2027 with Administrator McMaster, Senator Curtis called for reforms to current funding formulas that rely on static historical data and fail to account for the rapid population growth and travel demand seen in states like Utah. The Senator also raised Utah’s success in managing the environmental review process and inquired about how Congress can authorize further flexibilities to help states build out infrastructure.
