Congress is approaching a major deadline with many provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire in 2025. What does this mean for Utahns and the upcoming elections in November?

On this week’s episode, we sit down with Rep. Blake Moore of Utah’s First Congressional District to discuss reining in federal spending, how to reform social safety net programs, and where Congress can play a role in reducing benefits cliffs.

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