Governor introduces newly inaugurated attorney general, auditor, treasurer and lieutenant governor
Summary
The Governor formally introduced newly inaugurated statewide officers — Attorney General Derek Brown, State Auditor Tina Cannon, State Treasurer Marlo Oaks and Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson — highlighting backgrounds and personal anecdotes during the opening of the State of the State address.
At the start of the address the Governor introduced several statewide constitutional officers who had been inaugurated that day. He introduced Attorney General Derek Brown, noting they served together in the Utah House and describing Brown’s prior service with several U.S. senators and international humanitarian travel with his family.
The Governor introduced State Auditor Tina Cannon and described meeting her in 2018, noting she is the first Republican woman elected independently to a statewide office in Utah. He introduced State Treasurer Marlo Oaks and emphasized Oaks’ institutional investment background and the Governor’s remark that Oaks manages $36,000,000,000 of investments. Finally, the Governor introduced Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson and relayed a personal anecdote from her husband about their college courtship and early jobs. "Please welcome our new attorney general, Derek Brown, and his wife, Emily," he said while presenting each officer to the chamber.
The introductions were largely ceremonial; the Governor offered brief professional backgrounds and personal touches rather than policy plans tied to each office.
