(JNS) - In addition to Kat Cammack being one of a record number of Republican women elected to Congress this past election, she will serve as the youngest Republican woman on Capitol Hill when the 117th Congress begins on Jan. 3.
She easily defeated Democrat Adam Christensen, 57.1 percent to 42.9 percent, respectively, in the Nov. 3 U.S. House of Representatives race in Florida s 3rd Congressional District to succeed retiring Republican Rep. Ted Yoho, whom she served as his deputy chief of staff and campaign manager.
OGDEN â âPandemic trials,â with jurors socially distanced in a room separate from the courtroom, may be coming soon, a judge told a South Ogden man accused of attempted murder.
Michael Adam Christensen has been in the Weber County Jail since Jan. 21, after allegedly stabbing his mother in the chest and back, hitting a lung, the liver and the heart wall.
The victim was in intensive care but survived.
At a status conference in 2nd District Court on Thursday, Judge Joseph Bean told Christensen that state officials have indicated virtual trials might be allowed by the end of January.
Ogden courthouse officials have prepared a conference room to use as a jury box during the pandemic. Jurors will be socially distanced from one another and will observe the trial via video.
