Republican Congressman Chris Stewart of Utah announced his upcoming resignation from Congress today due to health concerns of his beloved wife. As a man of faith and family values, Stewart made the difficult decision, prioritizing his wife’s well-being over his political career.

While details of his wife’s condition were not released, we can only imagine how challenging this season must be for the Stewart family. In a world where politics often come before family, it’s refreshing to see a man who is willing to put his spouse before his own ambitions and the interest of the party.
The seat will be filled through a special election, according to Utah law, giving the Republican Party an opportunity to put forward another courageous leader who will continue the great leadership of Congressman Stewart. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy expressed his belief in the GOP’s ability to keep the seat with another undoubtedly strong candidate.
As we bid farewell to Congressman Stewart, we remain grateful for his service and wish him and his family well in their next chapter of life. His selflessness and commitment to family are a reminder that true leadership starts at home, and we pray for his wife’s quick recovery. The Republican Party will undoubtedly support the Stewart family during this challenging time while we look forward to the continued advancement of conservative values in Utah.
