It took Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, just a few weeks to make his mark on the Senate — even before he'd actually take the oath of office to replace retiring Sen. Mitt Romney next year. As Senate colleagues and those close to President-elect Donald Trump saw it, Curtis, a senator-elect, was among the group of at least five Republicans who were planning to vote against former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s nomination to lead the Justice Department.
Curtis himself has leaned on that legislative record, touting success on bills he got enacted on issues like energy, conservation and protecting Taiwan. As he ran for Senate, he’s touted outside analysis referring to him as one of the more effective members of Congress. Curbelo pointed to Curtis’ decision to launch a Republican-only climate caucus as an example of how the Utahn was able to get dozens of conservative lawmakers to the table on an issue not always associated with the GOP.
