State Senator From St. George Announces Retirement

Steven Urquhart, a Republican member of the Utah Senate from St. George, has announced his retirement.

The St. George Spectrum reports Urquhart said he does not plan on running for re-election this year, citing a desire to return to his practice as a lawyer and to increase volunteer work.

Before his election to the Senate, Urquhart served as a Utah state representative.

Potential successors are already starting to line up.

State representative Don Ipson said he plans to run for Urquhart's senate seat.
