How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

Thank you Mr. Speaker. I, uh, Mr. Speaker, I think I gave one of my finest speeches ever heard on this floor in opposition to this bill just a few weeks ago. And despite my valiant efforts, this bill squeaked through. Um, but I would like to commend the sponsor for her hard work in the last several weeks on a very tough issue that this body has grappled with for a very long time. And she has done yeoman's work on this and I am proud to support the bill as it has come back. So thank you Mr. Speaker.

Presents HJR 30, which approves transferring state land parcels in a long-disputed area near the Great Salt Lake to the US Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, in exchange for money and public hunting and fishing access, with the state keeping mineral rights; the resolution is required because the transfer exceeds 500 acres.

Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker at, at statehood this every state in the nation is granted certain lands and those lands are considered navigable if they reside under a body of water that has sufficient water on top of it to allow for commerce. We have had those parcels since we became a state. Um, but in the 1920s, a wildlife refuge was established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service that occupied parcels that were in dispute between what had historically been the high of the Great Salt Lake and the new boundary established by the US Fish and Wildlife Service conflict about what exactly and where exactly that line has existed since that time really coming to …
S.J.R. 8 Joint Resolution to Initiate a Law School at Utah Valley University · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Objects to Cache Valley being left out of the Wasatch Front and asks colleagues to be clear about the term.
▶ Watch at 51:52Read what they said
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise slightly offended by the good representative from Utah County. Cash Valley is not the Wasatch Front. And if this, it is the opinion of this body that we are just one of the rest of you because we are north of here and almost to Idaho, I take significant offense. So I think when the pride and honor of our beautiful valley is slighted by the comments of my colleague from Utah County, Southern Wasatch Front, uh, it is critical that we rise and defend the honor that is rightfully ours. And so I would encourage my colleague and any others to be clear. Cash Valley is not the Wasatch Front. Thank you, …

Official biography
Born and raised in Liberty, Representative Snider now resides on a farm in Paradise with his wife Kelli, and their two children- both places he proudly calls home. In addition to his roles as a husband, father, volunteer firefighter, EMT, and avid sportsman, Representative Snider holds another important title-- House Majority Leader.<br><br> Since being elected in 2018 to represent District 5 of Cache Valley, he views his time in the State Legislature as another opportunity to give back. He has produced legislative solutions at every level of government, from grassroots efforts to being a staffer at the U.S. Capitol. Representative Snider has championed policies concerning the preservation of Utah's precious natural resources, specifically the future of our water supply. He's known for his willingness to engage, an emphasis on common sense policy, and providing a valuable rural perspective. Raised in agriculture, he's integrated that 'work until the job is done' attitude that the farm requires into his service with the legislature.<br><br> A proud Aggie, Representative Snider earned a Bachelor of Science degree in conservation and restoration ecology, law, and constitutional studies from Utah State University and a Master of Science in environmental science and policy from Johns Hopkins University. When he's not working he's likely taking his kids on a mule ride, waterfowl hunting, or taking on a new project on the farm.
