Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) effectively resigned from the House on Friday, altering the current makeup of the lower chamber and decreasing Republicans’ already-slim majority to just three seats — giving GOP leaders little room for error as they navigate a battle over government spending.
With Stewart’s absence, there are now 433 members in the House, with 221 Republicans and 212 Democrats. There are two vacancies in the lower chamber left by Stewart as well as former Rep. David Cicilline , who resigned earlier this year.“As I sat on the airplane last night, flying home from DC for the last time as a Member of Congress, I started to think about this amazing experience, the incredible people I have meet, and the things I have learned,” Stewart wrote in an online statement.
Stewart announced he would be retiring from his House seat in late May, citing his wife’s health as the reason for his early departure from the seat he’s held for 10 years. News of his departure attracted a crowded field of GOP candidates seeking to replace him, with attorney Celeste Maloy winning the party’s nomination earlier this month.
Maloy is expected to win in the general election in November, as the seat is considered to be safely Republican. She’ll face Democratic candidate Kathleen Riebe in the general special election on Nov. 21.
