West Jordan Republicans are looking to fill the House seat opened in county recorder shakeup

(Michael Mangum | Special to the Tribune) Adam Gardiner speaks during the recorder election at the county republican Central Committee Meeting at Jordan High School in Sandy, UT on Thursday, August 17, 2017. Gardiner was elected Salt Lake county recorder.

About 100 delegates for the Salt Lake County Republican Party will meet next month to pick a replacement for Rep. Adam Gardiner, who left his position representing his West Jordan district to take over as county recorder this month.

The West Jordan delegates are set to meet at West Jordan City Hall Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. to pick from eligible candidates.

Republicans earlier this month chose Gardiner to replace Gary Ott, who has a permanent mental incapacity and whose family negotiated his early resignation from office after years of public decline.

He was elected from a field of eight candidates, including former acting Recorder Julie Dole and County Councilman Max Burdick, who finished last in the balloting.
