Brad Wilson

The Hooper resident has been in the Legislature since 2015 and previously served as majority leader.

Sen. Mitt Romney’s decision not to run for another Senate term has opened up one of the most highly coveted jobs in Utah politics — and saved others the trouble of trying to primary him.

Wilson is a supporter of former President Donald Trump and had already launched an exploratory committee before Romney’s recent announcement that he won't seek a second term.

The state has previously stepped in to fund park operations, something Gov. Spencer Cox said is critical for rural communities.

Utah’s governor pointed to polarization fueled by social media and cable news as one of the warning signs of a republic in decline.

With Utah now poised to elect a new senator in 2024, will Romney’s successor continue in the “wise wing” of the GOP or subscribe to the Trump brand of politics?

After one term in Congress, Romney wants to step aside for a “new generation of leaders” in Washington.

Gov. Spencer Cox is calling for the Legislature to approve moving municipal election dates to accommodate a special election to replace Utah U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart.

The governor's announcement expedites the timeline prescribed by Utah law to ensure the six-term Republican’s seat doesn’t remain vacant for more than a few months. Stewart informed Cox that he plans to resign on Sept. 15.

Utah’s 2024 U.S. Senate race is still in the “posturing” phase as Romney has yet to announce if he’ll run for reelection.

Wilson, a real estate developer, opened an exploratory committee to begin raising contributions toward a Senate bid on Thursday. Sen. Mitt Romney has not announced whether he plans to run for reelection in 2024.

Lawmakers passed a record 575 bills this session. Democrats, however, felt like the session was historic for the wrong reasons.
