“It has been one of the great honors of my life to serve the good people of Utah in Congress,” he said in a statement. “My wife and I have made so many dear friends and memories throughout our journey. I can say with pride that I have been an effective leader for my beloved home state, and I’m honored to have played an important role in guiding our nation through some troubled times. But my wife’s health concerns have made it necessary that I retire from Congress after an orderly transition can be ensured.”

No other details about his wife’s condition were released and he did not say when he would officially step down. 

Whenever it does occur, the seat will be filled through a special election, according to Utah law. 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy wished him well and expressed his confidence that the seat would remain in GOP control.

“For more than a decade, Utah’s 2nd district has had a selfless public servant in @RepChrisStewart. I wish him and his wife Evie health and blessings as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives,” McCarthy said on Twitter.
