sition to an industrial economy—have
SENATOR MIKE LEE been accompanied by social disloca-
tion and subsequent adaptation.
To be sure, much is going well in Amer-
ica. Relative to many other countries,
we hold an enviable position. Having
emerged from the Great Recession, the
nation enjoys relatively low unemploy-
ment and incomes that, while growing
too slowly, are as high as they have ever
been across the board. Educational at-
tainment continues to increase; a high-
er share of Americans than ever before
have a college degree. Most workers
enjoy longer retirements, and overall
6 7
life expectancy is at all-time highs. By
these standards, it has never been a
better time to be alive in America.
And yet, despite this real progress,
there is a disorienting sense that our
social fabric is frayed. We are wealth-
ier in material terms than ever before,
but leading thinkers have issued warn-
ings that we are increasingly “bowling
alone,” “coming apart” and inhabiting a
“fractured republic.”
At the heart of those warnings is the
view that what happens in the middle
layers of society – what we do together
in the space between the individual and
the state – is vital to sustaining a free,
prosperous, democratic and pluralistic
country. It is in this space – a space held
together by extended networks of co-
operation, social support, norms, trust
and mutual obligation -- that we learn
to solve problems together.

The Social Capital Project
Investigating the evolving nature, quality, & importance of associational life
Senator Lee created the Social Capital Project at
the beginning of 2017, within the  Joint Econom-
ic Committee, where he serves as Vice Chairman.
The project is intended to assess the state of Amer-
ican “associational life”—our informal relationships
with family, friends, neighbors, fellow congregants,
and coworkers and our formal institutions set up to
meet our diverse needs. Senator Lee believes that
many of the nation’s most pressing problems are
at least partly social rather than economic. But our
understanding of the social factors that affect all of
us is limited in comparison with the vast amount of
data and research on economic factors. The Social
Capital Project seeks to remedy this deficiency.
 
In 2017, the Social Capital Project released three
major reports on: Our Changing Associational Life,
the Opioid Epidemic, and the Rise in Unwed Child-
bearing. It held a committee hearing in May, tied to

Creating an environment where the free market can thrive

Senator Lee is a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which,
among other things, oversees issues related to interstate commerce, tourism, consumer issues, eco-
nomic development, and technology.

Rolling Back Harmful Regulations

Sheep ranchers visit, Uintah Basin Senator Lee worked closely with his Senate colleagues and the White House to identify harmful feder-
al regulations that could be repealed through the Congressional Review Act, including the repeal of a
rule that would have prevented Utah businesses from settling disputes through arbitration.

Commerce Committee Highlights

• Confirmed Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce and Elaine Chao as Secretary of Transportation.
• Introduced S. 993, the Restoring Internet Freedom Act, which would repeal the 2015 Open
Internet Order passed by the Federal Communications Commission.
• Introduced S. 118, the Reinforcing American-Made Product Act of 2017 to ensure that a ro-
bust and clear standard for what is “Made in the USA” is enforced nationwide. This bill passed the

Senator Lee is a member of the Senate Energy &

Natural Resources Committee where he serves as
chair of the Subcommittee on Public Lands, For-
ests, and Mining.

On June 21, Senator Lee held a hearing to showcase

Antiquities Act Abuse
This year, Senator Lee fought ardently to restore local
control over land in Southern Utah. In December, the
senator accompanied President Trump to the Utah
Capitol to announce reductions to the Bears Ears and
Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. Sena-
tor Lee is continuing to work with the rest of the Utah
congressional delegation to codify the president’s re-
ductions and protect the state from further Antiquities
Act abuses.
In October, Senator Lee delivered an address at the
Heritage Foundation outlining the history of the Antiq-
uities Act and the detrimental effects of unilateral na-
tional monument designations on local communities.

restoration projects in the west. Tyler Thompson
from the Utah Department of Natural Resources
testified about the success of the Watershed Resto-
ration Initiative in Utah. Mr. Thompson highlighted
Utah’s innovative efforts to promote habitat resto-
ration and prevent erosion after wildfires.
Shaping the Narrative in Washington
Senator Lee spoke at the Heritage Energy & Climate
Policy Summit in November, outlining the unfair,
market-distorting impacts of federal intervention
in the energy sector and laying out his vision for
unleashing America’s enormous energy potential.
Native Species Protection Act
In September, Senator Lee reintroduced S. 1863,
the Native Species Protection Act, which would
prevent the federal government from regulating
entirely intrastate species under the Endangered
Species Act. The bill would restore constitutional
limits on federal authority and empower states to
manage species that exist exclusively within their
respective borders. For Utah, this would mean
more flexibility to manage species like the Utah
prairie dog in a way that benefits both the animals
and property owners. Senator Lee coauthored an
op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about the Utah
prairie dog and the Native Species Protection Act.

 Economic Policy
Creating opportunity for all

In 2017 Senator Lee proposed major reforms to the regulatory process, the Congressional Budget Office, federal
spending, welfare, higher education, and trade policy. As the newly-appointed Vice Chairman of the Joint Economic
Committee, he participated in hearings that covered challenges facing American workers, the opioid crisis, and the
Federal Reserve’s regulatory programs. Senator Lee also worked with his Senate colleagues to successfully double the
Child Tax Credit in the final tax reform bill Congress passed into law in December.
Below is a brief description of legislation Senator Lee introduced on the Joint Economic Committee in 2017:

Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act Head Start Improvement Act

Nullifies a rule that basically gives the Dept. of Housing Gives states and parents greater flexibility to meet the
and Urban Development national zoning authority. specific needs of low-income children.

Global Trade Accountability Act Davis-Bacon Repeal Act

Tax Reform and the Child Tax Credit Requires actions taken by the executive branch on
trade to be subject to congressional approval.
Repeals 80-year-old wage subsidy law which drives up
federal project costs and hinders economic growth.

In June, September, and October, Senator Lee
participated in three different panels with Ivan-
ka Trump, to discuss the importance of includ-
ing relief for working families in any tax reform
legislation. He continued to work closely with
Ms. Trump, Senator Rubio, and his colleagues
on the Senate Finance Committee throughout
the fall, and their combined efforts resulted in
16
a doubling of the Child Tax Credit from $1,000
to $2,000 per child. The implementation of this
meaningful policy into the final tax bill is a clear
victory for parents and families all over the coun-
try, and represents a positive step towards end-
ing the bias in our tax code that penalizes hard-
working parents who are busy raising the next
generation of taxpayers.
Agency Accountability Act
Makes all fines, fees, and penalties subject to the ap-
propriations process, allowing for more oversight.
CBO Show Your Work Act
Requires higher transparency from the Congressional
Budget Office by making more data available.
Protecting American Jobs Act
Transfers the power to hear and adjudicate NLRB com-
plaints to the U.S. Court System.
Working Families Flexibility Act
Allows employers to give option for employees to choose
either overtime pay or paid time off for overtime hours.
Welfare Reform and Upward Mobility Act
Reform welfare to repair dignity, strengthen families, and
assist Americans in becoming self-sufficient once again.
Higher Education Reform and Opportunity Act
Provides students with options that prepare them for the
challenges and opportunities in today’s job market.

 Providing for the Common Defense
Peace through strength
Senator Lee believes there is no higher priority for
the federal government than the defense of our
nation. He continues to advocate for policies that
provide the appropriate resources that our ser-
vice members and their families have earned and
deserve while also ensuring that the Department
of Defense is running as efficiently as possible.
Congress can and should find a better way to pro-
tect the individual liberties and opportunities of
Americans through reductions in overall federal
18
spending, smart reforms to the Defense Depart-
ment, and better aligning our international en-
gagements with U.S. economic and security prior-
ities.
Senator Lee continues to advocate for a full audit
of the DOD in order to clearly differentiate what
resources and programs are needed to ensure that
our country is kept safe and our service members
are equipped and prepared for any future threats.
Retention of Utah Apache
Helicopter Batallion
Senator Lee applauded the Army’s an-
nouncement of its stationing decision to
retain the AH-64 Apache Attack-Recon-
naissance Battalions, allowing Utah’s air-
men to continue their mission for our na-
tion and contributions to total Army end
strength.
Senator Lee has continually fought for
performance-based decision making in
military operations. Based on their excel-
lent performance, Utah’s guardsmen and
women have earned the right to continue
fulfilling their commitments to our coun-
try with the Apache.
Senator Lee met with the Utah National
Guard’s Adjutant General, Major General
Jeff Burton the morning of the announce-
ment in his Washington, DC office, ex-
pressing gratitude and congratulating
him on this exciting news.

Engaging Communities &
Empowering Utahns
Since beginning his Senate service in January 2011, Senator Lee
has been committed to the belief that Utahns offer a special per-
spective that can uniquely benefit our country. Consequently, he
has shaped his staff structure, resources, and priorities with a fo-
cus on community engagement and the empowerment of Utah’s
Opioid Crisis Roundtable many voices.
Senator Lee and staff joined a group of Utahns
for a roundtable discussion on the current
opioid crisis facing our state and nation. Senator Lee firmly believes that nurturing relationships based on
respect and trust is the best way to find common ground and
build consensus among differing viewpoints. No matter how
controversial the issue, his staff members reach out and com-
municate with their fellow Utahns—everyone from community
leaders to concerned citizens—to find principled agreement and
forge innovative solutions.
Whether it be through town hall meetings, mobile office visits,
round table discussions, tele-town hall meetings, or scheduled
