U.S. Senate

Name Notes
Mike Lee Our pick. Republican
Candidates to Not Vote for
All of the below We're so impressed with Lee and his track record, that we consider it a scandalous stain on the name of any candidate, to try to unseat him. If you are trying to help Utah, then find a seat that needs better leadership. Hence, any candidate that ran against him is hereby considered an enemy of Utah, and not worth voting for. (This is a rare analog to our general practice of using endorsements of and by good or bad actors to help us discern the alliances and loyalties of a candidate.)
