Utah Rep. John Curtis is running for Senate, joining what is shaping up to be a competitive Republican primary for the seat left vacant by Sen. Mitt Romney’s decision not to run again.
“We need to get America back on track. I’ll keep fighting Joe Biden’s reckless spending. I’ll work to make America not just energy independent, but energy dominant. That’s good for our economy, our security, and our pocketbooks,” Curtis said in a video announcing his campaign Wednesday, which also touched on the southern border and relations with China. “As your senator, I’ll work hard every day to make Utah an even better place.”
Curtis, who was elected to the House in a 2017 special election and said in the fall that he would not run to succeed Romney, told KSL-TV that he realized he could continue the work he’s done in the House with a bigger platform if elected to the Senate.
