Becky Lockhart is the first woman Speaker of the Utah House of Representatives. An eight-term representative from Provo, she is in her second term as Speaker of the House. The issues she has overseen include topics like immigration reform, alcohol policy, education funding, transportation planning and once-in-a-decade redistricting.
