New poll shows Rep. John Curtis with a big lead over rivals in Utah’s 2024 U.S. Senate race — if he runs

State Sen. Mike Kennedy said Friday he is forming an “exploratory committee” in anticipation of running for Utah’s 3rd Congressional District next year. If Rep. John Curtis decides to jump into the race to replace Sen. Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate, he’ll have a big head start over some candidates who have been campaigning for months, according to a new poll.
