What is the proper role of the federal government?

It’s a question that impacts many of the national policy debates that top the news, and it was an important theme during Sutherland Institute’s 2024 Congressional Series.

This week, Nic Dunn sits down with Rep. Celeste Maloy of Utah’s Second Congressional District to get her insights on the proper balance between federal and state authority on a range of issues. The congresswoman covered topics like the important principle of federalism, the debate over public lands, and how to more constructively interact with people who share different political views.

This episode is brought to you by Zions Bank, sponsor of the 2024 Sutherland Institute Congressional Series.
