Utah County Attorney David Leavitt fails in reelection attempt, concedes race to challenger Jeff Gray
The latest results as of 10:30 p.m. showed Gray leading with 72.25% of the popular vote with 38,983 votes, while Leavitt had 27.75% with 14,970 votes. Because there is no Democrat running for the position, Gray will assume the job as the county's top prosecutor.The embattled Leavitt had faced several controversies leading up to election day, with the county attorney often clashing with the Utah County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Mike Smith, in particular.
On Monday, a FOX 13 investigation showed a video that raised questions about Leavitt's adoption of a Native American child. In the video, Leavitt is seen discussing his"strategy” to adopt the baby, while allegedly taking advantage of his political influence to overcome a federal law designed to protect Native American children from being adopted by non-Native families.
Another Republican challenger, Utah County prosecutor Adam Pomeroy, dropped out of the race a few weeks before the primary to support Gray. More numbers are expected to be released Wednesday afternoon, and the results will continue to be processed over the next several days before being finalized.
