Welcome to The Senate Site

The Utah Senate Minority Leader was featured in today’s UPD. An excerpt:

Mike Dmitrich calls them as he sees them.

He learned that in the coal mines of eastern Utah.

That’s where his career started, just like his dad and his granddad. For the state senator, it has had a happier outcome. Both of his progenitors gave their lives in the mine, Grandpa Isaac Milovich in 1936 and his father, Dan, in 1957. They were two Serbian immigrants who hoped to find a better life here, and died trying.

And their descendant has spent his life making things better for Utahns with faces smeared with coal dust and hands gnarled from cleaning ditches and fixing fence lines.

Great profile. He deserves every compliment and more.

Mike D. is one of the warmest, most pragmatic, canniest politicians up on Capitol Hill. In the Senate, democrats passed 57 percent of their bills (senate republicans passed 62 percent). It is not the same for Dems in the House of Reps. Credit Mike Dmitrich with savvy leadership and the senate republicans for *mostly* reasonable behavior.
