Utah’s U.S. Senate seat was won by John Curtis, a Republican congressman who will replace Mitt Romney. Caroline Gleich, the Democratic candidate, gave up the race before the official results came out, while people were still waiting in line because of delays. National news outlets thought Curtis would win—which would give the Republicans one more seat in Congress.
“Unity is not just a slogan” Curtis said as he celebrated his win in Provo. We. will become more like Utah if we all work together. As a congressman from Utah’s 3rd District, Curtis ran on a platform of conservative policies — focusing on issues like public lands and reproductive rights. He is also known for starting the Conservative Climate Caucus, which pushes a Republican view on environmental issues.
Gleich, a climate activist, ran her campaign around protecting Utah’s land and women’s rights to have children. She brought attention to important issues like protecting public lands and taking action on climate change, but she had to deal with a tough Republican stronghold in Utah. She said, “We’re going to make this moment a movement,” which means she promised to keep fighting for these issues.
Utah will soon see how Curtis’s priorities shift the Senate now that he is getting ready to take office.
