Senate President Stuart Adams concedes in GOP primary

• "I congratulate my opponent on their victory and wish them every success as they continue the important work of serving the people of Utah," he said in a statement to multiple media outlets.

Catch up quick: Adams faced criticism after Utah's Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA), which he chairs, pushed to advance a controversial data center development in Box Elder County.

State of play: Hollist previously worked as general counsel for Weber State University.

Zoom out: Adams isn't alone in being overtaken by an intraparty challenger.

• State Sen. Dan McCay (R-Riverton) conceded, per KSL, after trailing state Rep. Doug Fiefia by a wide margin.
• State Rep. Trevor Lee (R-Layton) also lagged behind Davis County Commissioner Bob Stevenson and congratulated his opponent in a social media post.

What they're saying: "While the results did not go as we had hoped, I am deeply grateful to the voters, volunteers, donors, and supporters who stood with our conservative vision for a stronger Utah," Lee said in an X post.
