Romney to announce Feb.15 if he’ll seek Utah Senate seat
SALT LAKE CITY — Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to announce on Feb. 15 if he’ll run for the Utah Senate seat held by Orrin Hatch.
Romney said in a Twitter post Thursday that he’s looking forward to the announcement. The post included a link to his website , which no longer includes references to his 2012 presidential campaign and quotes from his concession speech. Instead, it offers visitors a form to sign up and “Join Team Mitt.”
Romney’s been considered a top candidate for the Senate seat after longtime Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch announced in January that he would not seek another term.
In recent months, Romney has made more public appearances around the state but has declined to say if he’ll run for Hatch’s seat.
