Real Clear Politics ran an op-ed by Mayor Trent Staggs today, which outlined his campaign platform and the need for new leadership in Washington. He writes:
When Mitt Romney moved to Utah to run for an open Senate seat, he promised he would “fight for us.” He committed to put us on a pathway to a balanced budget, end illegal immigration, stop federal overreach, and appoint conservative judges.
His promises don’t exactly match his record of the last five years.
Romney has fought President Trump’s efforts to protect our borders, even voting to support Biden’s incompetent DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Romney has supported trillions in additional spending, and refused to join Sen. Mike Lee’s effort to enact substantial spending and budget reforms in May. When Democrats nominated radical Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Romney was one of just three Republican defectors to vote for her.
If the leaders who’ve put America on this course are not replaced, the only conceivable destination is ruin. So in May, I announced my candidacy for the U.S. Senate, replacing Romney with a true conservative.
The article also highlights the recent poll that shows how Romney's approval rating has dropped 11 points since Mayor Staggs declared his candidacy, according to a recent D News/Hinckley Institute poll.
