As congressional leaders in Washington, D.C. begin preparing for a new term next year, Utah's representatives are jokeying for important committee assignments. Our panel examines how this behind-the-scenes maneuvering impacts the work of Congress, and how it benefits Utah voters in the long-run.
New polling suggests public trust in institutions like Congress and the media is much lower than it used to be. We discuss how this downward trend is a potential threat to our democratic republic, and the best way to improve those relationships.
Plus, what issues will take center stage on Utah's Capitol Hill when lawmakers convene for their annual session in January? And how does our federal delegation work with state leaders to streamline policy changes?
In this episode, host Jason Perry is joined by Representative Celeste Maloy—a Republican from Utah's 2nd Congressional District, former Representative Ben McAdams—a Democrat who represented Utah's 4th Congressional District, and State Representative Tyler Clancy—a Republican representing Provo in the Utah House.
