Chris Stewart , who announced his resignation last month, will not debate before the primary in September, with board members citing the high costs of putting on the debate.“Resources are always a factor like any non-profit organization,” Wayne Niederhauser, UDC Board co-chairman, told KSL News. “We not only have to plan for the special election but also for an election year in 2024.
