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.)
Evan McMullin	Unaffiliated
James Arthur Hansen	Libertarian
Tommy Williams	Independent American Party
