Rep. Casey Snider to serve as new Utah House majority leader
After Jefferson Moss resigned from the Utah Legislature, the Utah House Majority Caucus held a special leadership election to replace him. In the special closed-caucus election late Tuesday, Rep. Casey Snider, R-Paradise, was elected to be the House majority leader. He previously served as the majority assistant whip. 'I am honored to take on this role and grateful for the opportunity to serve,' Snider said, according to a release from the caucus. 'Our leadership team is committed to serving the members of our caucus and the people of Utah with integrity and foresight as we continue to advance meaningful policy for the benefit of every Utahn.' Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman, will be the new House majority whip, and the new House majority assistant whip is Rep. Bridger Bolinder, R-Grantsville. 'I am thankful for the trust our Majority Caucus has placed in me,' Pierucci said. 'Our leadership team is energized and ready to represent our caucus as we work to make a lasting impact for families and communities across our state.' The three representatives will serve in these leadership positions for the rest of the 2025-2026 term. 'It's an honor to earn the trust of my colleagues,' Bolinder said. 'I'm eager to get to work, to listen, and to help ensure every voice in our caucus, and every Utahn, is represented.' Moss, who was the majority leader, resigned from the Legislature after he was appointed to serve as executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. 'I am excited to work alongside this new leadership team as we represent our caucus and work on behalf of all Utahns,' said Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper. 'Congratulations to Rep. Snider, Rep. Pierucci, and Rep. Bolinder. This leadership team stands ready to work on behalf of all Utahns.'

Utah House Republicans elect new slate of leadership

(Photo by Spenser Heaps for Utah News Dispatch) In order to fill an open leadership position left by former House Majority Leader Jefferson Moss, the Utah House Republicans chose their next second-in-command during a closed-door caucus meeting Tuesday night. The House GOP elected Rep. Casey Snider, R-Paradise, for their next majority leader, picking him over Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield. Moss resigned from the Republican-controlled House effective last week to accept Gov. Spencer Cox's appointment as executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. Lisonbee previously served as majority whip and Snider served as majority assistant whip, leaving both of those positions up for grabs. Rep. Candice Pierucci, R-Herriman, won election to be majority whip, while Rep. Bridger Bolinder, R-Grantsville, was elected assistant majority whip. 'I am excited to work alongside this new leadership team as we represent our caucus and work on behalf of all Utahns,' House Speaker Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, said in a prepared statement issued Tuesday night. 'Congratulations to Rep. Snider, Rep. Pierucci, and Rep. Bolinder. This leadership team stands ready to work on behalf of all Utahns.' Snider and Pierucci have both been rising stars in House leadership, having previously served in leadership positions before taking the higher-ranking roles. Bolinder is a relative newcomer, having first been elected in January 2023. Snider began his legislative service in October 2018, while Pierucci has served since November 2019. Snider has political experience both in Utah and Washington, D.C. He previously worked as a legislative director for a congressman, former Utah Rep. Rob Bishop, and was a staffer on the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources. He has also served as a firefighter for the Paradise City Fire Department and worked in various agricultural roles. He owns and operates a 300 acre farm in Cache County, according to his campaign website. When Snider was first appointed in 2018 at the age of 33, he assumed the role as the state's youngest legislator. Now, that title belongs to Rep. Tyler Clancy, R-Provo, who took office in 2023 at the age of 25. Previously, Snider served in a powerful position as chair of the House Rules Committee, which decides which bills get committee hearings. 'I am honored to take on this role and grateful for the opportunity to serve,' Snider said in a prepared statement. 'Our leadership team is committed to serving the members of our caucus and the people of Utah with integrity and foresight as we continue to advance meaningful policy for the benefit of every Utahn.' Pierucci — who was also deemed the Legislature's youngest lawmaker when she first took office in 2018 at the age of 27 — previously worked as director of community relations for another congressman, former Rep. Chris Stewart, and as development director for the conservative think tank Sutherland Institute. As a lawmaker, Pierucci most recently served as chair of the House Education Committee. One of the most high-profile and controversial pieces of legislation she ran included the creation of the state's 'school choice' voucher program, named Utah Fits All, which a district court judge recently ruled as unconstitutional. State leaders said they would appeal the ruling to the Utah Supreme Court. 'I am thankful for the trust our Majority Caucus has placed in me,' Pierucci said in a statement. 'Our leadership team is energized and ready to represent our caucus as we work to make a lasting impact for families and communities across our state.' Bolinder owns a family construction company, according to his campaign website. He's affiliated with the Utah Manufacture Association and lists Grantsville High School as his education, according to his legislative page. Last year, he was selected to serve as chair of the House Health and Human Services Committee. 'It's an honor to earn the trust of my colleagues,' Bolinder said. 'I'm eager to get to work, to listen, and to help ensure every voice in our caucus, and every Utahn, is represented.'

Women's College World Series: Texas Tech walks off vs. Oklahoma, Texas blanks Tennessee to advance to finals
Lauren Allred's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning gave Texas Tech a 3-2, walk-off win over Oklahoma in the Women's College World Series. (AP Photo/Vera Nieuwenhuis) For the first time in five years, women's college softball will have a new national champion. Oklahoma was eliminated from the Women's College World Series with a 3-2 loss to Texas Tech on Monday. The Sooners had to defeat the Red Raiders twice to avoid double elimination, but Lauren Allred's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh made sure that wasn't an option with a walk-off win. Advertisement However, Oklahoma did not go down quietly with their season at stake in the seventh inning. Hannah Coor allowed the tying run to come to the plate with a one-out single. Isabela Emerling hit into a fielder's choice but kept the inning alive for Abby Dayton to blast a game-tying, two-run homer to right-center field with two strikes. The Red Raiders took a 2-0 lead in the second inning with Alana Johnson drawing a one-out walk against Oklahoma pitcher Sam Landry. Demi Elder then drove Johnson in with a triple. Two batters later, Bailey Lindemuth brought Elder home with a single. For 6 2/3 innings, that was plenty of offense for Texas Tech star NiJaree Canady. Prior to the seventh and Dayton's 2-run shot, the junior right-hander allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven Sooners batters. Advertisement Oklahoma's defeat ends what has been a dynastic run in women's college softball under head coach Patty Gasso. The Sooners had won the past four national championships and seven of the past 11 Women's College World Series. (They also made the finals of the 2019 tournament.) Texas 2, Tennessee 0 Teagan Kavan pitched three scoreless innings to close out a 2-0 win for Texas over Tennessee to lead the Longhorns to the Women's College World Series finals. (Photo by David Buono/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) (Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) The Texas Longhorns are heading to the 2025 Women's College World Series finals. A day after Tennessee's dramatic win over UCLA, the Lady Volunteers were eliminated after a 2-0 loss to Texas on Monday. Offense was nowhere to be seen early in the contest. After three scoreless innings, frustrations finally boiled over for Tennessee. Following a questionable called strikeout by the home-plate umpire, Tennessee hitting coach Craig Snider was ejected from the contest for arguing balls and strikes. Advertisement Snider stormed out of the dugout to confront the home-plate ump on the field before he eventually walked back to the clubhouse. While the next Tennessee hitter was able to draw a walk, Texas pitcher Mac Morgan managed a groundout to end the inning. Morgan's ability to bounce back after Snider's outburst may have inspired the Longhorns. Texas outfielder Katie Stewart led off the bottom of the fourth with a home run on a ball that just carried over the left-field wall, giving Texas a 1-0 lead. Texas then took out Morgan — who had a season-high four strikeouts — in favor of sophomore pitcher Teagan Kavan. Advertisement After two scoreless — and hitless — innings by Kavan, Texas added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning. A walk by Joley Mitchell and a single by Stewart put the Longhorns in scoring position. With two outs, Texas infielder Victoria Hunter hit a ground ball to third. Tennessee's Taylor Pannell scooped up the ball, but threw it too high to first. The ball sailed into the dugout, allowing Mitchell to score. With a 2-0 lead, Kavan took the mound in the seventh looking to close it out. Kavan allowed hard contact against the first two hitters she faced, but excellent defensive plays by Mia Scott at third and Leighann Goode at short kept Tennessee from starting a rally. Kavan then struck out Emma Clarke for the final out, sending Texas to the finals. Tremendous pitching performances by Morgan and Kavan propelled Texas to the victory. Morgan allowed just three hits over four innings of work, striking out four. Kavan did not allow a hit over the game's final three innings. Snider's ejection couldn't help Tennessee rally. The team failed to notch a single hit after the coach was sent to the clubhouse. With the win, Texas will move on to the finals, which will begin Wednesday. They'll take on the winner of Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Both teams will face off Monday. Because it's a double-elimination tournament, Oklahoma — which already has one loss — will need to beat Texas Tech twice in order to advance. Texas Tech can reach the finals with just one win over Oklahoma on Monday.
