Dozens of state lawmakers, including Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz, officially endorsed former President Donald Trump for reelection on Monday.

Standing in the Utah Capitol rotunda on Monday afternoon, Schultz, R-Hooper, surrounded by 14 of his colleagues, posed with an endorsement letter, written by the speaker and signed by over 100 legislators and officials from around the state.

“Now, more than ever before, the United States needs a leader who will guide us back to our core values and to a more secure future,” the letter reads. “As such, we formally express our support for the re-election of President Donald J. Trump.”
