When the world needed them, millions of our brave men and women of the United States answered the call.
As soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy. As women who rose to the challenges behind combat lines. They made what seemed like an impossible feat possible.
Our eternal gratitude is theirs.

As we celebrated this most recent Thanksgiving, John and I were thrilled to be joined by the newest member of the Edwards family: Addiemay Price Jensen!
Since our race ended in September, and especially since Addiemay’s birth, I have put a great deal of thought into how to use my platform to ensure a brighter future for my grandkids–and for every Utahn.
Unfortunately, since our election, things have gotten even more toxic in our politics. For nearly a month, the U.S. House did not have a Speaker due to political obstructionism. The federal government keeps narrowly avoiding catastrophic government shutdowns. Even here in Utah, we are not immune. Far too many of our elected officials–on both sides of the aisle–seek to win social media battles, rather than trying to enact meaningful legislation.
To address these formidable challenges I am proud to announce the launch of the Governing Group PAC. Through the Governing Group PAC, we will work to use the power of Team Becky to elect local and state officials throughout Utah who are focused on governing and finding solutions to our greatest challenges–not just those who yell the loudest.
Any big effort requires an investment of time and money. We have an ambitious goal of raising $50,000 for the 2024 election cycle. This money will go directly to providing funding and infrastructure to candidates who focus on what really matters: delivering principled results, rather than partisan soundbites. We’re also using the power and expertise of members (yes, YOU!) across the state to support those $ with the ground game necessary to secure wins. And along the way we’ll be there to mentor and coach with everything from campaign basics to how to build coalitions, trust, and a pathway forward through the complexities of politics. More information is to come so please follow on socials . I’d greatly appreciate a donation–whether financial or with your time–as we go through the next year!
I am looking forward to using my role as a supporter, volunteer, and mentor to help elevate candidates and causes that matter to me. For Addiemay, and all those you care about. I hope you’ll join me on this new journey!
Martha Hughes Cannon was a trailblazer. She was a doctor, mother, suffragist, and in 1896 she became the first woman elected to a state senate anywhere in the country!
Martha’s story represents the many remarkable Utah women, past and present, who blaze trails. This Utah Education Network video tells the incredible story of an amazing group of 9 and 10 year old Girl Scouts who worked alongside me as the bill sponsor to make history as we paved the way for a statue of Utahs own Martha Hughes Cannon to be placed in Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol.
When the bill passed, these young girls cheered and yelled “We did it!” and with Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, BetterDays2020, and many other Utahns, WE DID!
