P.S. I have no idea why the Trib would feel the need to lie in a headline about multiple “buildings” but whatever. https://t.co/M9FID9yrsp — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

I know some love the idea of having a security team to drive and follow every move. But it’s not me. Those that know me know that I hate everything about it and pray that someday we will live in a world where none of it is necessary. Thanks for your kindness and support. /end — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

My security team is made up of the best humans on this planet. I love every one of them as if they were family. It hurts me to know they are putting their lives on the line every day to protect me and my family. Stuff like this puts their lives at risk more than mine. 10/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

For 7 years as Lt. Gov I drove 60,000 miles a year, commuting 200 miles round trip everyday to preserve that connection. I promised the people in rural Utah I would continue to spend as much time there as possible. I intend to keep that promise. 9/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

I’m sure there are some who will criticize me for spending time in Fairview when we have a secure home provided by taxpayers in SLC. And it’s a fair criticism. I can only tell you that Fairview is the only place I can be me and feel connected to the soil and soul of our state. 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

To those who believe these types of threats are exaggerated or overstated, I assure you they are not. We have had several security violations over the past year, including this one at the mansion that also prompted security upgrades. 7/ https://t.co/cSJVl96sKJ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

As to the legislature, leadership is briefed and security upgrades to buildings and officials are always included in a single line-item—so the bad guys don’t know where the vulnerabilities are. Now everyone knows the security upgrades aren’t complete. Which is fine I guess. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

Abby and I also insisted that we would pay for any upgrades or to have them removed—out of our own pocket—when our service is finished. We were told that wasn’t necessary but did it anyway. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

We looked at rentals nearby, but that would ultimately end up costing more money. DPS came back with plans for a very nice outbuilding. But we felt it was too much. And so we settled on a very small building where the security team could stay warm and monitor the property. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

We hated the idea of feeling trapped (we had removed fencing on the property), but told them we would support whatever they felt was necessary to do their jobs. We offered to let security stay in the spare bedroom, but that would be a violation of protocol. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

Shortly after being elected gov, we were approached by DPS with serious concerns about real threats and vulnerabilities. Abby and I were sick to learn how dangerous things had become. They proposed significant security measures including a fence and security building. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Spencer Cox @SpencerJCox

🧵For very good reasons the Dept. of Public Safety will never comment on these issues or share security details for state buildings or officials and they would prefer I didn’t either. But I know how these things work, so let me share some context. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
