Utah Sen. Mike Kennedy seeks to replace Rep. John Curtis in House race
Utah Republican State Senator Mike Kennedy Announces Bid for Open House Seat
Utah Republican State Senator Mike Kennedy has officially declared his candidacy for the open House seat of Representative John Curtis. Curtis, who is currently vying for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Mitt Romney, has opened up an opportunity for Kennedy to make his move.
Kennedy has been serving in the state legislature since 2013, initially as a state representative. Although he temporarily left the state House in 2018 to run for the U.S. Senate, he was unable to defeat Romney in the primary election. However, Kennedy did manage to secure slightly more delegate votes at the Utah Republican Convention.
Undeterred by his previous setback, Kennedy ran for and successfully won his state Senate seat. Now, he is ready to take his commitment to a higher level by joining Congress, which he believes is in dire need of conservative problem solvers and responsible governance.
A Passionate Vision for the Nation
“Our nation is at a pivotal moment,” Kennedy stated. “As your state senator, I have fought tirelessly for fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, and for putting the interests of Utahns above special interests. Now, I am ready to take this commitment to a Congress deeply in need of conservative problem solvers and responsible governance. I will work diligently to secure our borders, restore fiscal discipline, protect our freedoms, and be a voice for common sense, civility, and integrity on the national stage.”
Aside from his political career, Kennedy is also a family doctor. He has even sponsored legislation aimed at banning minors from receiving transgender surgeries. Unfortunately, his dedication to this cause led to his house being vandalized with graffiti.
Despite being a staunch conservative, Kennedy emphasizes his willingness to collaborate with members across the aisle to ensure that legislation is effectively passed.
A Call for Unity and Effective Leadership
“The challenges we face as a nation — from families struggling with the rising costs of inflation, our mounting national debt, and the need for strong border security — demand leaders who are ready to take on these issues and understand the importance of civil discourse and collaboration,” Kennedy explained. “In Congress, I will work to ensure that the voices and values of everyday Utahns are not drowned by the bickering of those seeking to divide our country. We need leaders who will stand firm in their principles, challenge the status quo when needed, and work tirelessly for the freedoms, safety, and prosperity of all Americans.”
Roosevelt Mayor Rod Bird Jr. is also running as a candidate to replace Curtis in the upcoming election.
