On May 14th, Senator Curtis will deliver his first address from the Senate floor. In an opinion piece published in Deseret News, Curtis invited Utahns to help shape the content of his speech by sharing personal reflections and experiences tied to key American principles.

This week, Senator Curtis introduced the Uyghur Policy Act, legislation to confront and counter the ongoing human rights abuses by the Chinese Communist Party against the Uyghur people and other minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The comprehensive bill outlines a series of diplomatic, humanitarian, and strategic actions to pressure the People’s Republic of China and support communities subjected to these abuses.

The Senate today passed legislation introduced by Senator Curtis to overturn the Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency rule reestablishing the so-called “Once In, Always In” policy under the Clean Air Act. The resolution, passed by a simple majority vote, restores a pathway for emissions reductions to be recognized in regulatory classification—allowing chemical manufacturers, refineries, and energy producers to make environmental improvements without being penalized by permanent red tape.
