News from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor

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.”

On behalf of the state of Utah, we congratulate Navajo Nation President Dr. Buu Nygren and Vice President Richelle Montoya on this historic moment for the Diné.
