There's a $2.5 million price tag for holding special primary and general elections to fill the vacancy that will be left when Rep. Chris Stewart resigns this fall, even though they're set to be held at the same time as municipal elections.
that moves the municipal election dates to accommodate the 2nd Congressional District race.
She said it would have cost "almost nothing" to add the congressional primary and general elections in a regular election year, when all of the counties already would be running elections. But that's not the case in a nonpartisan municipal election year. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Calvin Musselman, R-West Haven, also would eliminate the ability of voters to change their party affiliation to vote in the Republicans' closed congressional primary.
Because of the political makeup of the 2nd Congressional District which includes much of the western half of the state, Republicans have a significant advantage in the race, so the party's contested primary could determine Stewart's successor., University of Utah political science professor Matthew Burbank said, since the GOP controls the U.S. House by only a four-seat margin.
"I think we'll figure it out," said Silvestrini, who's running for reelection this year as the mayor of a city split between all four congressional districts. "I'm just glad the governor and the Legislature are going to push this two weeks rather than a month." West Valley City had been the only entity in the county with residents in the 2nd District with a municipal primary, Chapman said, adding "it's pretty common" for nonpartisan municipal races to not have primaries.
