I was proud to see Utah host the vice presidential debate last night. It was a great platform for both candidates to make their pitch to voters. The debate also served as an important reminder that we have elections for a variety of offices coming up next month. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to be attending the #VPDebate tonight. Kudos to @UUtah and @UtahDebateCom for their work on staging such an important event for Utah and voters across the country. Looking forward to hearing engaging discussion on important issues facing our nation. https://t.co/NEsDHjVje7 — PolitiTweet.org

Mask wearing does not come naturally to anyone, but every day we bring a mask with us when we leave the house, we get a little better at it. Practice makes perfect. #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Though several months have elapsed since the emergence of COVID-19 in Utah, volunteer efforts are still needed. Our great state has frequently been the best in the nation for volunteering and charity. Now is no different. Find opportunities to help at: https://t.co/7Q0OBh87ZF — PolitiTweet.org

Glad for the opportunity to declare Mental Illness Awareness Week in Utah. Far too many Utahns live with the daily struggles presented by mental illness. May we all work together to dismantle the stigma and barriers surrounding mental health treatment. #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek https://t.co/CoMrI1KtB6 — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: I was grateful to have Dr. Bishop of Utah Valley Hospital lend his perspective during our press conference last week. As Dr. Bishop says, COVID-19 is a miserable and persistent disease, and I ask Utahns to do their part in slowing the spread. https://t.co/IgNP8JXvjh — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to be speaking this morning at such an important event. Finding ways to improve the mental health of our kids is critical and I’m grateful to @ChildrensCrtUt for this opportunity.

If you are currently unemployed, this new @JobsUT campaign can connect you with potential employers. Even if you still have remaining unemployment benefits, it is important to start looking well ahead of time. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud of our state employees and agencies. This audit found no corruption, no one in government who personally benefited from our response, and no desire to do anything except the right thing for the right reason. — PolitiTweet.org

As former Utah Governor and HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt said, “Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Everything we do during a pandemic will seem inadequate.” — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The truth is, pandemics are hard. The whole world was caught off guard, and the audit reflects the difficulty of the challenges we’ve faced. But no state was better prepared than Utah to weather the storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

One critique concerned our preparations. The audit said we should have stockpiled PPE better. While there are challenges to obtaining $25 million of PPE when global supply chains are disrupted, we have ideas to improve this moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Yesterday, we received an audit report examining parts of our pandemic response thus far. I appreciated the chance to review what we can do better. This is the reality of audits. They are not meant to praise. Their purpose is to identify gaps and areas of improvement. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org
