Utahâs first Latino state lawmaker, John Ulibarri, a longtime educator and principal in Weber County, died earlier this month at the age of 81.
His son and namesake, John Ulibarri II, says the legislative distinction mattered to his father. But the senior Ulibarri seemed to prize other aspects of his time as a lawmaker above making history.
