Lt. Governor's News

Lt. Governor Deidre M. Henderson has released the official results of THE HB 267 PUBLIC SECTOR LABOR UNION AMENDMENTS ACT signature gathering process.

Utah’s Lieutenant Governor Deidre M. Henderson will lead a delegation of business development, policy, and energy experts to the United Kingdom (U.K.) to discuss nuclear power generation.

I, Deidre M. Henderson, Lieutenant Governor of the State of Utah, in accordance with Utah Code 20A-7-311 (1 ), do hereby issue a temporary stay of the effective date of HB 267: Public Sector Labor Union Amendments, passed in the 2025 general session of the Utah Legislature.

Lieutenant Governor Deidre M. Henderson will join the Westwater community to celebrate clean running drinking water, a project four years in the making. The celebration will include a community tour in Westwater, Utah, followed by a formal event at the USU College Campus in Blanding with dignitaries and local officials.

Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson warns that long lines at polling locations could delay election reporting of results on election night. In the interest of ensuring that Utahns have an opportunity to vote without the influence of initial results, early results will be held until the last voter in line has cast their ballot.

Four years ago, I was sworn in as Utah’s ninth lieutenant governor with little understanding of this role. Today, I have a better idea of what it means to be the state’s number two. To paraphrase Shakespeare, “A [lieutenant governor] shines as brightly as a [governor], until the [governor is near]. So doth the greater glory dim the less.”
