Welcome to The Senate Site

Ambassador John Bruton, the European Union’s Ambassador to the United States, visited the Utah State Senate today. Feeling “at home” on the Senate floor, Ambassador Bruton analogized the feelings of loss and opportunity associated with Irish emigration to Utah’s pioneer heritage. He said the same feelings of loss and opportunity accompany the United States’ and the European Union’s challenges regarding energy consumption and global climate change.

Ambassador Bruton also discussed how his visit to Utah was a reminder of the European Union’s and Utah’s interdependence. In 2005, $11 billion of the $12 billion invested in Utah came from the European Union, while in 2006, Utah exported three times more goods and services to the European Union than it did to China, Japan, India, and Korea combined. Check out some pictures of Ambassador Bruton below.
