Governor Cox's Top Priorities

Utah Governor Spencer Cox just started his second term in office, and he's already got big legislative goals. PBS Utah had the opportunity to sit down with Cox for a 1:1 interview ahead of the 2025 Utah Legislative Session. We talked about his top priorities for the year, how he plans to work with lawmakers to make it all happen, and how he hopes Utah will benefit from having President Donald Trump in the White House.
