Republican Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson is poised to formally announce that he's running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Mitt Romney.
FILE-Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, speaks with Strider Technologies, an AI-powered strategic intelligence firm, on Aug. 22, 2023, in South Jordan, Utah, to discuss the work they are doing to help entities better understand vulnerabilities and mitigate security concerns. Romney announced earlier this month he won't seek a second term, saying younger people needed to step forward.
Wilson would likely fall somewhere between Romney and Lee in that regard, said Damon Cann, head of Utah State University’s political science department. Compared to Romney, 76, who was a household name in Utah and beyond when he ran for Senate, Wilson will have a bigger challenge becoming known to the many voters unfamiliar with the top-ranking figure in the state House. The $2.2 million Wilson has raised so far — including $1.2 million of his own money — will help, Cann said.
Rod Bird Jr., mayor of the small Utah town of Roosevelt and the founder of an oilfield supply company, announced his campaign last week. He has said he supports term limits and more limits on federal lobbying.
