Lee Battles Big Egg In Defense of Little Mayo

WASHINGTON – Sen.

America’s national security depends on what takes place in Northern Utah

Earlier this week, I had the honor of speaking with a group of service members, civilians, and contractors from the Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, as well as leaders and representatives from the Air Combat Command and Air Force Sustainment Center. The occasion of the event was the arrival of the first operational F-35 fighter jets to the 388th fighter wing at Hill AFB.

The Republican establishment’s failure of leadership over the years is no excuse for conservatives’ failure of imagination now.

If, by some miracle, Nebraska had ended up beating BYU, I would have sent ten of America’s finest turkeys, from Norbest turkey farms in Sanpete County, to the Omaha Open Door Mission – a wonderful Gospel Rescue Mission in Omaha, Nebraska. But because the Cougars were victorious over the Cornhuskers, Senator Ben Sasse agreed to buy ten delicious pork loins from Pillen Family Farms in Nebraska for the Utah Food Bank.

Principled Conservatism at its Best

Last week I was honored to stand with several of my Senate colleagues to announce the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, a bill that makes modest, but important and long-overdue, changes to our federal sentencing laws and penal system.

More than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their first “Monopoly” board game, the federal government began laying the foundation for our modern anti-trust regulatory regime in order to prevent real monopolies from emerging in the marketplace. While this regulatory framework has largely succeeded in protecting the fair and open competition upon which our free-enterprise economy depends, a relatively minor design flaw has caused the enforcement of our nation’s antitrust laws to be inconsistent and uneven.
