On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, U.S. Senator John Curtis (R-UT) will deliver his first address from the Senate floor. In an opinion piece published in Deseret News, Curtis invited Utahns to help shape the content of his speech by sharing personal reflections and experiences tied to key American principles.
To prepare, Senator Curtis is making independent visits to four historic sites where, he says, “American principles aren’t just spoken, but felt:”
- The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
- The National Museum of African American History and Culture
- Arlington National Cemetery
- Ensign Peak in Salt Lake City, Utah
Constituents who have visited any of these places or been moved by their meaning are encouraged to share their stories by emailing [email protected].
