U.S. Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah said he is considering challenging incumbent Orrin Hatch for their state’s Republican Senate nomination next year, adding that he is getting “increasing clarity” about a bid to unseat the six-term lawmaker.
“I’m potentially running for the Senate,” Chaffetz said in an interview yesterday. He said he believes Utah voters “are ready for a change,” and that he will announce a decision after Labor Day in early September.
