UTAH MAYOR ANNOUNCES BID TO UNSEAT SENATOR MITT ROMNEY

  • Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs announced he will seek the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Mitt Romney in Utah's 2024 Senate election.
  • Staggs believes Romney has let personal beefs get in the way of good governance and has not been an effective leader for the state.
  • Staggs brands Romney as a "Massachusetts millionaire" who moved to Utah and criticizes his votes to impeach Trump.
  • Staggs is confident he can overcome Romney's national name recognition and appeal to Republican primary voters who feel abandoned by the incumbent.
  • Romney's challengers will likely face an uphill battle due to his widespread popularity in Utah as a prominent member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his role in saving the 2002 Winter Olympics.
