The election canvass results are in! We
retained all of our previously held seats and picked up the three Utah House of
Representatives seats that were close!
Congratulations to Fred Cox, Bruce Cutler,
and Sophia DiCaro for winning these three tight races against significantly
financed Democratic opponents! As you can see below, they won by 47, 53, and 195
votes respectively!
Congratulations once again to all of our
