PROVO — Utah County Republicans have chosen Marsha Judkins to fill a vacancy in the Utah House of Representatives.

Judkins faces United Utah Party candidate Eric Chase and Green Party candidate Matt Styles in the November election.
A BYU graduate in political science and math, Judkins teaches part time in the developmental math department at Utah Valley University. She also has a master's degree in public administration.
Judkins and her husband, Randy, have seven children and 11 grandchildren.
