SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah's new speaker of the state House of Representatives sworn in Monday is a former amateur boxer who climbed from humble beginnings in Pittsburgh and weathered legislative bouts to win his leadership position. Republican Greg Hughes from Draper was born to a go-go dancer mother with a father he never knew. The 45-year-old Hughes said he learned quickly never to step down from a fight in the rough-and-tumble areas where he grew up. [...] he moved to Utah and lived in Greene's basement while helping with her with a congressional campaign. Hughes weathered an ethics complaint several years later filed over allegations that he promised $50,000 in campaign money to a lawmaker in exchange for changing her vote on school vouchers. The House Ethics Committee ultimately voted not to take action against him, though members did write a critical letter calling for an apology.
