In a significant setback for Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT), a Utah mayor has delivered a severe blow by declaring his candidacy to contest the Republican senator's seat in the upcoming election.
This mayor becomes the first inaugural contender to officially challenge Romney.
From Slay News:
Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs, a Republican, said: “I love my children, and I’m worried about the country they will inherit if I sit on the sidelines.
“For too long, we’ve allowed government bureaucrats to spend away the next generation’s future, and we need more voices willing to push back.
“Unfortunately, Mitt Romney has let personal beefs get in the way of good governance.
“From not standing with Mike Lee against raising the debt ceiling to voting for the $1.7 trillion omnibus, he has helped drive us deeper in debt.
“He votes to impeach President Trump but then has the nerve to confirm a radical justice like Ketanji Brown Jackson and incompetent cabinet members like open border Mayorkas."
“Mitt Romney fits in the Senate much better than I do."
“We’ve elected far too many people who ‘fit in’ in Washington.
“I’m not going to Washington to make friends, I’m going to make change.
“We have more IRS agents than border agents, and while we’re paying $4 a gallon for gas, they’re sending our money unchecked to Ukraine.
“Now we’re almost $32 trillion in debt. Enough is enough.
We wholeheartedly agree!
The time has come to put an end to this relentless D.C. corruption. The American people have reached their limit and are exhausted by it.
It is imperative for Utah and other states to elect representatives who genuinely embody the will of the people, rather than engaging in political grandstanding.
