Stewart to chair Utah Aerospace and Defense Assoc.

The Utah Aerospace and Defense Association (ADA) has named former U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart as the newly appointed chair of the organization. Stewart resigned his seat in Congress earlier this year and returned to Utah to help his wife deal with an illness. 

Stewart was first elected to Congress in 2013 and served on the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee during his tenure in Washington, working mainly largely in defense, intelligence and foreign affairs. As a decorated Air Force pilot, Stewart possesses extensive firsthand knowledge of the aerospace and defense industry and its associated opportunities for growth, the ADA said in announcing his appointment.
