U.S. Representative Chris Stewart is reportedly preparing to step down from his congressional seat, potentially as early as this week.
Multiple sources have informed The Salt Lake Tribune that Stewart has made known his intention to resign, attributing the decision to ongoing health concerns involving his wife. The exact nature of her health issues remains undisclosed.
Having been elected by the people of Utah in 2012, Stewart is currently in his sixth term in Congress. In the 2022 elections, he secured his re-election by a significant margin of over 30 percentage points, triumphing over Democratic candidate Nick Mitchell.
