Gov. Spencer J. Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre M. Henderson Public Schedule Oct. 12 – Oct. 16, 2026

What this means

The Utah Governor’s Office published a schedule-only notice for Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson covering October 12–16, 2026, rather than a policy announcement. It lists Cox events in Chicago, Boise, at the Utah Capitol, in Kemmerer and in Salt Lake City, while Henderson’s listed meetings are concentrated on October 13–14; the notice says both schedules are subject to frequent change and shows no public meetings for Henderson on October 15–16.
