Jamie Barnes has earned the trust of local communities, elected leaders, conservationists, industry partners, and her colleagues through steady leadership, sound judgment, and a willingness to tackle tough challenges. Her work has strengthened collaboration across state government and helped ensure Utah’s natural resources are managed responsibly for future generations. I’m proud to appoint Jamie as commissioner of the @UtahDNR, pending Senate confirmation.

The State Forester has banned fireworks statewide through July 5. Municipalities may work with the Forester to designate a discharge area. Each town will decide. We encourage a safe, spark-free July 4th with your family. #July4th #FireSafety
