Rex Shipp is a Republican member of the Utah House of Representatives, representing District 71.
Political career and positions
During the 2022 General Session, Shipp served on the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee, House Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee, and House Public Utilities, Energy, and Technology Committee.[4]
Although Shipp’s legislative district does not include Washington County, he voiced opposition to the changing of the name of Dixie State University to Utah Tech University. Shipp has advocated for gun-owners’ rights since he joined the Legislature in January 2019. Shipp has stated that he believes that the matter is not about gun control, but rather education; one of his bills, HB 258, would have created a three-year pilot program whereby students would be able to take a one-semester gun safety class by a qualified instructor and receive a semester hour of elective credit. The bill passed the Utah House by a vote of 47-21 but ultimately failed to pass the Senate.[5]
