Spencer Cox: “These missions contribute $23 billion to Utah's economy…”

“And some of those missions can only happen here. Protecting our defense infrastructure and our agriculture is not just about military readiness. It's also about economic strength. These missions contribute $23 billion to Utah's economy, support over 177,000 jobs, and represent nearly 10% of our state's GDP. Other states may have let something like this slip through the cracks, but Utah didn't and we won't. We're not just protecting land, we're defending liberty and national security and we're proud to do it the right way.” (05:58–06:10)
