Local elections taking shape, Utah Supreme Court vacancy
About this episode
The filing deadline for 2025 municipal elections ended this week, and the races in several of Utah's 253 cities are taking shape. From Mayor to City councils across the state, Host Lindsay Aerts and Executive Director of Governing Group, Kyle Friant, run through some of the top issues impacting those communities and the people running to lead them through it. Plus, Utah Associate Chief Justice John Pearce announced he's stepping down from the Utah Supreme Court at the end of his term in December. University of Utah Political Science Professor Matthew Burbank walks through the impacts of a vacancy, recent tensions with the high court and the legislature, and how Governor Cox might navigate picking a successor.
