There is little suspense in the race to represent Utah’s Third Congressional District, a role left vacant when Jason Chaffetz resigned to become a Fox News commentator. John Curtis, the mayor of Provo, Utah’s third-largest city, emerged from a contested primary as the Republican nominee and has held a wide lead in polls. Though the Democratic candidate, Kathie Allen, raised a sizable sum of money online by tapping into liberal loathing of Mr. Chaffetz, the district is overwhelmingly conservative.

One wild card to watch may be Jim Bennett, an independent candidate whose father, Robert Bennett, was a longtime Utah senator. If he makes a strong showing, it could reflect discontent with both parties and encourage other independents in 2018.
