Rebecca Dawn Lockhart[1] (November 20, 1968 – January 17, 2015) was an American politician and Republican member of the Utah House of Representatives.
[3] Lockhart was born in Reno, Nevada and attended college at Brigham Young University where she obtained a degree in nursing.
She announced in 2014 that she would not be seeking reelection that year, and pundits claimed that she may have been focusing her efforts on running in the 2016 Utah gubernatorial election.
In 2014 Lockhart's primary legislative project was HB 131S03, the Public Education Modernization Act, filed under Representative Francis Gibson.
There was vast public outcry over the bill which was hurriedly presented and passed under her, and other Republican leaders' oversight.
