I pledge to you tonight that we will bring to bear the necessary resources, determination and innovation to achieve this goal. #uted #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, I challenge Utahns to raise our graduation rate to 90% in the next 4 years. #uted #SOTS #utpol https://t.co/0ekkkZzU68 — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

That means 3,400 additional students graduate every year from Utah schools with increased opportunities like never before. #SOTS #uted — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Utah’s graduation rate has grown by nearly 10% since I took office, and now sits at 84%. #SOTS #uted — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Together we have invested more than $1.3 billion new money in #uted over past 4 years—more than any time in Utah’s history. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

#UTleg doesn’t often get credit for this issue. With finite resources + competing demands, they chose to put Utah’s children first. #uted — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

A defining moment in my time as governor came last year when we made one of the largest increases in #uted funding ever, $512 million. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Education is the most important investment we can make in Utah’s future. #SOTS #uted #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

And because you live in Utah, not only will you have a good education, but there will be a good job for you once you graduate. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The solution to ending intergenerational poverty is opportunity, and the key to opportunity is education. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

We will not rest until all 29 counties and all 245 cities and towns statewide have full economic opportunity. #SOTS https://t.co/2ECUdOXrPJ — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Sen. @RalphOkerlund and the @BusinessUtah Rural Partnership Board, we now have new tools to help. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Your children may not choose to stay here, but we need an economy strong enough so that they always have the choice. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

#LifeElevated mean parents don’t have to watch their children leave for another town or state because they can't find a job where they live. — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The state of our state is strong, and I think most of us would say the #sots is outstanding. But I believe that we can do even better. — PolitiTweet.org

Forty-thousand new jobs means new opportunities for 40,000 Utahns. #SOTS #utpol https://t.co/aAcsJr6qbv — PolitiTweet.org

And just this fall, the state of Utah was recognized as the most fundamentally sound economy in the nation. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Now, our economy is the nation’s 3rd most diverse, income inequality in Utah is low, and our wage growth is up. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

In fact, in 9 of the last 12 months, Utah had the highest job growth creation of any state in the nation. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Six short years later, our state economy has added 219,000 new jobs, with an unemployment rate dropping from 8% down to 3.5% today. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Together, we set a goal to not only recover from the Great Recession but to become the top-performing economy in America. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

The unemployment rate was at the time 8 percent. Each of us had family members and friends who struggled just to get by. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Six years ago, our state found itself in the most severe recession since the Great Depression. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Let us recommit to show greater respect for men and women who willingly put themselves in harm’s way to protect Utahns. #SOTS #utpol — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

#OfficerBarney was a husband, father and dependable friend and honorable public servant. #SOTS @UPDSL https://t.co/RGCjc3zaAK — PolitiTweet.org

We witnessed a remarkable outpouring of love and support for hometown hero #OfficerBarney, who gave ultimate sacrifice in line of duty.#SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Utah’s Rainy Day fund now has $528 million, the largest amount in our state’s history. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

As a state legislator, she had the foresight to create Utah’s Rainy Day Fund to prepare for the unforeseen events of the future. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org

Gary R. Herbert @GovHerbert

Just as important, she was a tireless advocate for #uted who established early reading initiatives in Utah schools. #SOTS — PolitiTweet.org
