Sen. Mike Lee, fresh from winning a third term in the U.S. Senate, also was the top vote-getter in The Salt Lake Tribune’s Utahn of the Year reader poll.
Sen. Mike Lee makes his victory speech at the Utah Republican Party election night party at the Hyatt Regency in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022. Lee was also the top vote-getter in the Tribune reader poll for Utahn of the Year.
This year’s poll drew 18,807 votes over a week, and Lee led the way with 5,553 . Lee overcame early-year blowback from his effort to find a way to keep Donald Trump in power to convincingly win the GOP primary over two challengers and the November general election over independent challenger Evan McMullin.
Jerilyn Poole, a Provo advocate for the LGBTQ community, was second with 4,682 votes, and Olympic Gold Medal-winning figure skater Nathan Chen was third with 3,238 votes.There were also 559 write-in responses, and the most common choice among write-ins was the whale public art installation at the roundabout near Salt Lake City’s Ninth and Ninth neighborhood. Second among the write-in choices was Becky Edwards, the former state legislator who ran for the U.S.
