U.S. Rep. John Curtis will succeed Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate after the Republican breezed to victory over his Democratic opponent in deeply red Utah.Curtis
U.S. Rep. John Curtis greets supporters during a election night party Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, in Provo, Utah.
Curtis defeated Democrat Caroline Gleich, a mountaineer and environmental activist from Park City, in a race that often centered around each candidate's climate policies. The incoming senator leads the Conservative Climate Caucus on Capitol Hill and has developed a reputation for pushing back against party leaders such as Donald Trump who falsely claim that climate change is a hoax.
Curtis, 64, has said he plans to carve out his own brand of conservatism in the post-Romney era of Utah politics, with a focus on bringing Republicans to the table on issues involving climate change. "You elected me to legislate, to advocate and represent you. My agenda will be your agenda. My voice will lift your voice. My vote will reflect your values," Curtis said. "And, together, will make Washington more like Utah."
