11 Utah Legislative Races to Watch on Election Day


House District 54 – Open seat – Tim Quinn (R) vs. Rudi Kohler (D)

Partisan makeup:

Republican – 41.9%

Democrat – 15.7%

Republican Kraig Powell unexpectedly withdrew from the race in April after his decision to gather signatures to get on the primary ballot threatened to turn into a major issue in this year’s contest.

Powell was one of the more moderate members of the House.

Republicans have the advantage in this district with a 26-point partisan registration gap.
