Senator John Curtis, who represents Utah’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, shared updates on his recent engagements with community leaders and international diplomats through a series of social media posts.

On March 18, 2026, Curtis highlighted his interaction with young civic leaders: “I’m inspired by young people who step up to serve their communities. I had a great visit with the Clearfield Youth Commission to discuss their thoughtful legislative ideas and their work in advising the @ClearfieldCity Mayor and City Council. Utah’s future is in good hands.”

Later that day, he commented on international relations after meeting with New Zealand Ambassador Chris Seed: “It was great meeting with New Zealand Ambassador Chris Seed to discuss how our nations can continue working together to advance shared values, strengthen economic ties, and promote security in an increasingly complex world.”

The following day, Curtis addressed local policy concerns regarding housing: “Housing and affordability are top of mind in cities across Utah. I appreciated meeting with local mayors and city council members from Salt Lake City, Millcreek, Santa Clara, and Clearfield to discuss housing needs, local infrastructure projects, and other key priorities” (March 19, 2026).

Curtis has represented Utah’s 3rd District since replacing Jason Chaffetz in 2017. Born in Salt Lake City in 1960 and currently residing in Provo at age 62, he graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1985.
