Utah Rep. John Knotwell will resign from the state Legislature at the end of September, the second member of his chamber to step down in as many months.
“A citizen Legislature comes with its challenges for many of its members — one of them being a necessary commitment to full-time employment,” the Herriman Republican said in a prepared statement issued Wednesday. “[M]y employment requires significant time and traveling and schedule that will not permit time to serve in this capacity.”
Formerly the chief executive officer of the Utah Technology Council, Knotwell since April has worked as senior vice president of worldwide sales for a company called Nuvi, according to his LinkedIn.
