In this week's episode of Special Session:
- The 2025 Utah Legislature is over.
- Legislative leaders aren't going to let a minor thing like a bill dying in committee stop them.
- Legislators pick a fight with the state auditor over office space...and lose.
- Phil Lyman wants to run the Utah Republican Party.
My guest this week is Sen. Daniel Thatcher. He announced Friday that he was leaving the Republican Party to join the Utah Forward Party. Thatcher says the Republican majority is becoming increasingly disconnected from the public. We’ll discuss his decision and how he will approach his job as a caucus of one.
