Utah Democrats demand Rep. Joel Ferry resign from the Legislature, take name off November ballot

Ferry is serving as acting director of the Department of Natural Resources, and Cox’s office said Saturday he will resign his House seat

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rep. Joel Ferry, right, was appointed by Gov. Spencer Cox to lead the Department of Natural Resources in June. Utah Democrats are demanding Ferry resign his seat in the Legislature and remove his name from November's ballot because holding both positions violates the separation of powers in the state constitution.
