Lawmaker to quit, take job at USU
State Rep. Brad Winn, R-Ephraim, is resigning his District 68 seat to take a job with Utah State University.
Winn currently works for Snow College and will have to move out of his district for his new job. State law says if a legislator moves out of his district, he must resign his seat.
Winn has notified the state Republican Party, which will organize a mini-convention of the state delegates in District 68, which includes Millard, Juab and Sanpete counties.
Those delegates will pick one name to send to Gov. Gary Herbert, who will appoint that person to serve out the remainder of Winn's term, which ends Dec. 31, 2010. That seat will be up for a full two-year term in the November 2010 election.
Republicans interested in being appointed to Winn's seat can call the state GOP at 801-533-9777.
