Trent Staggs

Only one candidate, Mike Kennedy, was both a Utah GOP convention pick and a winner of their primary.

“If you expect me to be Mitt Romney, I'm going to disappoint you. If you expect me to be Mike Lee, I'm going to disappoint you. I'm John Curtis,” he said. “And I think it's just fair to say I'm really different than both of them.”

Senate hopefuls John Curtis, Trent Staggs, Jason Walton and Brad Wilson each tried to give voters a taste of what kind of Republican they would be in Washington.

The candidates competing for the Republican nomination for Utah's U.S. Senate seat faced off on Monday, June 10, 2024, in a debate organized by the Utah Debate Commission.

Ballots were mailed to registered voters on June 4. If you have questions about the June 25 primary election, voters are encouraged to reach out to their county clerk’s office.

Utah’s Senate race became one to watch when Sen. Mitt Romney announced he would not seek another term. Four Republicans are vying for the nomination to replace him. Utah's primary election is June 25, 2024.

With the June 25 primary fast approaching, campaigns are gearing up to spend big money as they make their pitch to voters.

After nearly 17 hours, the Utah GOP nominating convention concluded with some surprises along the way.

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.

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.

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.
