Rep. Chris Stewart's resignation from Congress sets in motion a series of events, including new election dates.
Now, voters in the 2nd Congressional District will have a primary on Sept. 5 — the day after Labor Day. But all Utah voters will have a new general election on Nov. 21, the week of Thanksgiving.
"I don’t think we have a choice," Senate President J. Stuart Adams said Thursday."I think whether it’s worth it or not, we have to get our congressman elected. I don’t think it makes sense to do next June." "You have an extended timeline which means more money, more campaign expenses, you’re going to have to be turning out voters longer, having persuasion conversations for longer, paying your campaign expenses for a longer period time," said Gabi Finlayson, a senior partner at Elevate Strategies, a campaign firm working with municipal candidates now."For these municipal candidates, they don’t raise a lot of money, right? That timeline does have an impact for these people.
Lt. Gov. Henderson acknowledged it wasn't an ideal situation for some candidates, but it was the best option they had.
