Martha Hughes Cannon is taking the long way to get to Washington. And that’s just fine with Deidre Henderson, Utah’s newly elected lieutenant governor.
The plan was to have the statue of Cannon who became the first woman state senator in U.S. history when she was elected to the inaugural Utah Legislature way back in 1896 take its place in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol last summer.
