In Utah, the Governor fills vacancies by appointment. The appointee is recommended by a special meeting of the outgoing member's party caucus.
After three rounds of voting, Anderson was selected for recommendation. He defeated five other candidates -- including Stowell's widow -- to have his name submitted to the Governor for appointment.[5] He defeated Rep. Evan Vickers, Peter Greathouse, Keith Harrison, Allen Smith and Marilee Stowell (the predecessor's widow).[1]
