U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah, known for advocating constitutional principles and individual liberty, recently posted a series of statements on social media addressing issues ranging from government contracting to energy policy.
On April 13, 2026, Lee wrote: “The greatest trick Woke ever pulled was pretending that racial discrimination could be used for good. I’ll be introducing legislation to BAN race considerations for government contractors in the coming days. Stay tuned…” This statement signals his intention to introduce new legislation prohibiting race-based considerations in federal contracting.
The following day, April 14, 2026, Lee commented on economic conditions in New York City with the post: “In Manhattan, even the bread lines are expensive!”
Later on April 14, he turned his attention to energy policy by stating: “The United States should lead the nuclear energy renaissance, not watch it from the sidelines. My Nuclear Energy Innovation and Deployment Act with @SenMcCormickPA will help power America’s future.”
