John Curtis holds Senate campaign launch party

Rep. John Curtis gestured to his staff to wrap up their introduction before stepping into the limelight himself. Without wasting a breath, the Utah representative dove right into the reason why more than 500 people had gathered at a huge hall at a pest control company in Orem on a Monday night: “My name is John Curtis, and I’m running for U.S. Senate,” he said as the crowd erupted in loud cheers.
