Today we celebrate an important milestone in Utah and our nation’s history. 150 years ago today, Seraph Young became the first woman to vote in Utah. Twenty-four women joined her that day. It would be another 50 years until the 19th Amendment extended voting rights to women throughout the country. Utah women led the way—and we invite you to join us in honoring these remarkable visionaries. | Senator Mitt Romney

The Afghanistan withdrawal was a sad day in American and human history, and I remain concerned with the large number of our partners that are still in the country. We have a moral responsibility to honor our commitment and rescue those who fought alongside American troops in defense of our values. We cannot leave anyone behind. | Senator Mitt Romney

The cause of freedom comes at a dear cost. On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. Sadly, we lost two Utahns this past year—Air Force 1st Lieutenant Kenneth “Kage” Allen and Army Sergeant Bryan Mount. We will never forget the service and sacrifice of these fine men, and all of those who serve our country with such great honor. | Senator Mitt Romney
