Republican Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson is poised to formally announce that he's running...
FILE-Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, speaks with Strider Technologies, an AI-powered strategic intelligence firm, on Aug. 22, 2023, in South Jordan, Utah, to discuss the work they are doing to help entities better understand vulnerabilities and mitigate security concerns. Romney announced earlier this month he won't seek a second term, saying younger people needed to step forward.
Wilson would likely fall somewhere between Romney and Lee in that regard, said Damon Cann, head of Utah State University’s political science department.“I think most people are expecting Brad Wilson would govern somewhat more conservatively. I think he would be toward the political center from where Mike Lee’s at but I think he would be more conservative than Mitt Romney has been,” Cann said.
Wilson, 54, who was first elected to Utah’s House in 2010 and has been speaker for three terms, has all but said he is running. He launched an exploratory committee even before Romney’s announcement and recently said he will resign from his speaker job and the state House on Nov. 15.AdvertisementA commercial developer and home builder, Wilson calls himself a “conservative fighter" and touts his ability to create jobs.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, meanwhile, has publicly rebuked Ballard, saying he misused his friendship with a high-ranking church official for personal gain and engaged in “morally unacceptable” activity. Ballard, a member of the church, has denied those claims, too.
