Utah GOP incumbents topple in pivotal primary, reshaping the Legislature

In Utah’s primary, three high-profile Republican incumbents were defeated: Senate President Stuart Adams trailed Stephanie Hollist and conceded; Hollist will face Democrat Garret Rushforth in November. In the House, Rep. Trevor Lee lost to Bob Stevenson, who will face Democrat Abigail Treasure. In the Senate, Dan McCay was upset by Doug Fiefia, who will face Democrat Dane Anderson. Adams’ loss comes amid controversy over a Box Elder County data-center project, signaling voter demand for change as the GOP shapes Utah’s legislative future.
