Utah GOP Rep. Chris Stewart has a challenger in his own party: Erin RiderRepublican Rep. Chris Stewart, currently Utah's longest-serving U.S. House member, will face a challenger within his own party in the state's newly drawn 2nd Congressional District. At least she didn’t vote for Trump. Republicans tend to not be conservative anymore. I welcome more Republicans (as Democrats’ loyal opposition) being more involved in GOP politics. Right now loyal opposition is too sadly and dangerously rare. It’s bad for the country, as we can see. I would walk through a pit of live snakes to get Stewart out of office. He is truly just awful. Very very pleased to have a republican challenger.
