OGDEN, Utah — On Tuesday, with just over two days to prepare, the District 10 seat in the Utah House of Representatives will be occupied by a new face — Rosemary Lesser.
After former Rep. LaWanna “Lou” Shurtliff’s death in December, 20 people submitted their names to replace her in the only district north of Salt Lake County held by Democrats. Some withdrew their names, others were deemed ineligible, and that number was eventually whittled down to eight.
