Derek Brown holds lead over Rachel Terry in contest to be Republican A.G. nominee

A three-way battle to be the Republican nominee to replace Attorney General Sean Reyes came down to the wire Tuesday, with Derek Brown taking an early lead over Rachel Terry in early returns. Frank Mylar was trailing.

As of 8:30 p.m., Brown had received 45.17% of the vote, to 34.79% for Terry and 20.03% for Mylar. That’s from 13 of 29 counties reporting official early returns.

The winner will face Rudy Bautista, the Democratic nominee, and Michelle Quist, the United Utah Party nominee, in November’s general election. (Quist is a former columnist and former member of The Salt Lake Tribune’s editorial board.)

The last Democrat to win the seat was Jan Graham in 1996.
