PRICE Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – Mitt Romney’s announcement Friday of a run for U.S. Senate seat in Utah is his latest bid for public office since he first jumped into politics more than 20 years ago. The former businessman has endured more setbacks than victories since he launched his political journey in the early 1990s, following in the footsteps of his parents who ran decades earlier for governor, president and a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan. A look at Romney’s campaigns through the years: U.S. SENATE MASSACHUSETTS, 1994 Result: Lost What happened: Romney took leave from his private equity firm to challenge Ted Kennedy for the Massachusetts seat that the Democrat held at that point for more than three decades. Romney, running as a Republican in a blue state, supported abortion rights and gun control measures and said he would offer more effective leadership on gay rights issues than Kennedy. Romney lost, 58 percent to 41 percent, but won more of the vote than any other Republican who challenged Kennedy in his 40 years in Senate. PRESIDENT 2008 Result: Lost in GOP presidential primary What happened: After his stint as governor, Romney set his sights on higher office and jumped into a crowded GOP field of presidential contenders. He faced apprehension from some conservative and evangelical Christians over his Mormon faith and past support for abortion rights. Romney dropped out of the primary race in February 2008 as Arizona Sen. John McCain swept more states. PRESIDENT 2012 Result: Won GOP presidential primary, but lost general election What happened: Romney regrouped after his 2008 campaign and re-emerged as a front-runner in the 2012 Republican presidential race. Stressing his business acumen and staying critical of President Barack Obama, Romney became his party’s nominee but lost in November as voters sent Obama back for a second term. U.S. SENATE UTAH, 2018 Result: To be determined What happened: Romney has decided to get back into politics, launching his run for the Utah seat held by longtime Sen. Orrin Hatch, who’s retiring. The 70-year-old Romney is a heavy favorite to win and keep the seat in Republican hands. He is one of the most famous Mormons and is widely respected in Utah, which is heavily Mormon and headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His work salvaging the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City bolstered his reputation in the state, where he moved after losing the 2012 presidential election. The Senate run comes after Romney flirted with joining the GOP presidential primary in 2016 amid Republican concerns about Trump becoming the front-runner.

GOVERNOR MASSACHUSETTS, 2002 Result: Won What happened: Coming off his successful turnaround of Salt Lake City’s scandal-plagued 2002 Winter Olympics, Romney returned to Massachusetts and edged acting Gov. Jane Swift out of the Republican race for governor. Romney, positioning himself as moderate and highlighting his business experience, defeated Democrat Shannon O’Brien, 50 percent to 45 percent. He served four years and signed health care reform into law designed to guarantee virtually all state residents access to insurance. ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) – A southern Utah Republican party official has been arrested in a prostitution sting a week after a politician from a neighboring city stepped down amid allegations that he met a prostitute in a taxpayer-funded hotel room. The Spectrum newspaper reports Iron County Republican Party treasurer Blake Cozzens was arrested Tuesday after paying $100 for sex acts he discussed in text messages with a confidential informant. The 28-year-old Cozzens was one of five people arrested in the sting by St. George Police, who posted ads posing as a female prostitute. A publicly listed phone number for Cozzens went unanswered, and an email message from The Associated Press wasn’t immediately returned. He is also the son of a Cedar City councilman. The arrest comes after the resignation of Utah Rep. Jon Stanard of St. George. 2017 ICON AWARDS #1 INDIVIDUAL AGENT Julie Hopkins has achieved a remarkable accomplishment.
