All votes by Calvin R. Musselman

Real estate and northern Utah

Calvin R. Musselman's official legislative record identifies his profession as real-estate sales and lists an associate of science degree. He represents Senate District 4, covering portions of Davis and Weber counties. His overall legislative service began in January 2019, before his current Senate office. The current Senate roster supplies his office and district, while campaign material still includes older House District 9 branding. [2]

A campaign centered on homeownership

Musselman's campaign website identifies housing affordability as a central concern and argues for policies that make homeownership more attainable for younger generations. The site connects that argument to his northern Utah constituency and his bid for Senate District 4. These are his stated campaign priorities, rather than evidence that housing prices have fallen or that a particular proposal has achieved its promised result. [1]

Education and economic development

His campaign also emphasizes student preparation after pandemic disruptions and attracting higher-paying jobs to northern Utah. It presents education and economic growth as linked concerns for household stability. The language comes from a campaign page that retains historical House references, so its policy statements are attributed to him while his current title and district are checked against the official Senate record. [1]

In the 2026 General Session, Calvin R. Musselman was chief sponsor of S.B. 13, Statutorily Required Reports and Presentations Amendments. It repeals expired or outdated reporting requirements to legislative interim committees from a long list of agencies and has the Sentencing Commission publish its master offense list and collateral consequence guide on the criminal justice commission's website each year instead of presenting it. The governor signed it on March 23, 2026. [3]

In the 2026 General Session, Calvin R. Musselman was chief sponsor of S.B. 30, Human Trafficking, Exploitation, and Smuggling Amendments. It removes statutory defenses from human trafficking and smuggling offenses, folds stray definitions into the smuggling offenses and amends related penalties. The governor signed it on March 23, 2026. [4]

Business, justice and agency budgets

Musselman's current assignments include Senate Business and Labor and Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice. He also serves on Economic and Community Development Appropriations and Natural Resources appropriations, with interim work in government operations, criminal justice and political subdivisions. Those responsibilities extend his portfolio from private-sector employment and real estate to justice policy, local government and the funding of state agencies. [2]
