Who is the current Governor of Utah?

The correct choice identifies Spencer Cox as the current Governor of Utah. He took office on January 4, 2021, succeeding Gary Herbert, who served as governor from 2009 to 2021. Spencer Cox has a background in local government and as the Lieutenant Governor prior to his current role, which positioned him well for leading the state.

The other individuals listed are former governors of Utah. Mike Leavitt served as governor from 1993 to 2003 and later became the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Jon Huntsman was governor from 2005 until 2009, and after his term, he went on to serve as ambassador to China and later to Russia. Gary Herbert, who served right before Cox, was in office until January 2021. These historical contexts clarify that while they all had significant roles in Utah's governance, they are not the current officeholder, which in this case is Spencer Cox.
