A conservative Utah State Board of Education member who faced calls to resign after lawmakers said she bullied a student on social media has lost her nomination for reelection
A conservative Utah State Board of Education member who faced calls to resign after lawmakers said she bullied a student on social media lost her nomination for reelection Saturday. Natalie Cline needed at least 40% of the delegate votes at the Salt Lake County Republican Convention, but she fell short of that threshold Saturday. She faced Jordan School District administrator Amanda Bollinger, who won sufficient support to become the party nominee in that school board race.
Cline had faced backlash from Republicans and Democrats after her social media post questioning the gender of a high school basketball player prompted threats against the girl. Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox said Cline's actions embarrassed the state, and the Legislature formally censured her but allowed her to stay in office without any real power. Cline announced in late February that she would seek reelection.
