Republican candidate for governor Phil Lyman, fresh off a victory at the party’s state convention Saturday, will have to find a new running mate after state elections officials ruled that his first pick, Layne Bangerter, does not meet Utah’s residency requirements.
Former Lt. Gov. Greg Bell ruled that Lyman’s pick, Layne Bangerter, who lived in Idaho until 2021, does not meet Utah’s constitutional residency requirements.
Lyman contended that meant that Bangerter only needed to live in the state for five years at some point in his life. “Layne Bangerter easily meets this requirement and is a fully qualified candidate for lieutenant governor,” the Lyman campaign said in a statement Monday.
