AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Congressional Race: Republican Mike Kennedy and Democrat Jonny Larsen debated for Utah’s newly drawn 4th District, in the first general election under the new map. Sheriff Charges: Wasatch County Sheriff Jared Rigby and former Summit County Sheriff Dave Edmunds pleaded not guilty to charges alleging they obstructed the Kouri Richins investigation; Rigby also faces a false-statement charge. Local Control: Summit County joined Wasatch County in urging lawmakers to repeal a 2024 law that lets developers seek to create towns without local approval. Water Costs: A state-funded study behind a proposed water-rate increase did not verify how much revenue local providers already collect, renewing questions about its $1.2 billion annual infrastructure estimate. Disaster Aid: A federal disaster declaration makes funds available to Beaver and Piute counties for damage from the Cottonwood Fire and subsequent flooding.
