Amy Coney Barrett appears to be a qualified and serious jurist, one who would be a good addition to the Supreme Court. I hope senators of both parties will give her fair, respectful and thorough consideration. — PolitiTweet.org

My message for @BYUfootball: The pandemic has been disruptive and discouraging. But if we work together in patience following expert medical advice, I am confident fans can return to the stands where they belong. #GoCougs — PolitiTweet.org

These Miracle Projects have been one of the bright spots during the pandemic, providing over 250 tons of farm-fresh food to those in need. I am grateful to all involved in this innovative effort. Despite our challenges, the Utah way continues to prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Utah’s Unified Command leadership team has decided to move Orem and Provo back to orange-level restriction. We believe this necessary step will be minimally disruptive to the local economies while effectively curbing virus spread. #utcovid19 https://t.co/kso14RzeAD — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see this ranking, which lists Utah as the 2nd-best state in the nation for teachers. It is vitally important that we enact policies that build up our teachers, particularly during this pandemic. #uted https://t.co/z0rRVav8Bv — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

This is a wise decision by members of the Utah County Commission. A countywide mask requirement will help slow the spread of COVID-19 in hotspots across Utah County. We encourage all to wear masks - remember, my mask protects you and yours protects me. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I was glad for the opportunity to have such a productive and insightful conversation with @dougducey. Governors and our states are stronger when we collaborate with one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Data released by @uscensusbureau has indicated Utah possesses the nation’s lowest wealth gap. Given the economic uncertainty of the pandemic, establishing such a strong economic base will keep us better poised for a quicker recovery. #utpol https://t.co/6Bab2Vumf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! With fall elections fast approaching, it is important to know how you can engage in this cornerstone of the democratic process. For more information on voting in Utah, visit: https://t.co/HU5Gwhvhbh — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately responding to the pandemic is not about mandates. It’s about all of us playing our equally important roles in this fight. Working together is the only way we can achieve success. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

But these current outbreaks have the potential to affect other areas of the state. This is why immediate action is needed. It is my fervent hope that with the cooperation and sacrifice of people in Utah County, these changes will be temporary and have minimal economic effects. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Thus far our approach has not called on the heavy-hand of government that we have seen elsewhere. We have placed our trust in the people of Utah. This trust has given us one of the lowest death rates and unemployment rates in the nation. #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

We also know Utah County has discussed a mask mandate. I am encouraged by this discussion and look forward to working with Utah County and the relevant health experts to get them back to yellow. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Regarding these 3 measures, we have seen discouraging trends in Utah County. Therefore, on behalf of @UtahDepOfHealth and Unified Command, we are announcing a public health order moving Provo and Orem back to “Orange/Moderate” level restrictions, effective 11:59 PM September 23rd — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Yesterday I met with our Unified Command leadership team to have a robust discussion on the tools at our disposal to reduce current spikes. Some critical indicators we monitor to determine restrictions include: percent positivity, case trends, and hospital utilization. #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I will be holding a press briefing today with members of our Unified Command leadership team at 12:15 to discuss important updates to our COVID-19 response. You can live stream the briefing here: https://t.co/JGxSBaymOg #utcovid19 — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Ginsburg gave tireless service well beyond retirement age and had a tremendous impact on our nation. Jeanette and I send our sincere condolences to her family. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a force of nature. She had a keen intellect and a tremendous work ethic. She broke through countless barriers, shattering ceilings and leading the way for women to have more involvement in government. She was a true pioneer in every sense. — PolitiTweet.org

This #RoshHashanah, I express my appreciation for Utah’s Jewish community. Though celebrations this year may look different, I wish you a happy and healthy new year. You play an integral role in bolstering our state’s faith community. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

I am grateful for the unified effort from Utah’s congressional delegation and @SecBernhardt to transfer ownership of federal water facilities to local management. This will help improve the stewardship of public resources. https://t.co/LGq5MRVF2z — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

During the pandemic, Utah has protected lives and livelihoods. August’s unemployment data shows our positive performance with this. But our new spikes could jeopardize progress and put lives at risk. This is a tough road, and careless decisions could set back months of hard work. https://t.co/geKcugZQQv — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

As @DrAngelaCDunn mentioned in yesterday’s press briefing, 40% of our new cases this week have come from Utah county, despite only accounting for only about 20% of our population. We cannot make progress without everyone taking a shared responsibility to follow guidelines. https://t.co/m472YR1HIL — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Our health outcomes inevitably impact our economic outcomes, and outbreaks in one age group eventually impact more at-risk age groups. We are all in this together, and all of our efforts can help get this disease under control. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Many Utahns have done well in helping manage this pandemic. But this is a wake up call for us. This is a wake up call that our personal decisions matter, and our daily decisions—whether we wear a mask or not, whether we go to that party—have consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

We are also suspending any announcements on color changes this week, while we meet with state epidemiologists to identify the best course of action. — PolitiTweet.org
