2022 United States Senate election in Utah
The 2022 United States Senate election in Utah was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Utah . Incumbent senator Mike Lee , who was first elected in 2010 , won re-election to a third term, defeating Evan McMullin , an independent candidate who was endorsed by the Utah Democratic Party .
This was the first Senate election in Utah's history in which there was no Democratic nominee. Lee's performance was the worst for a Republican in a Utah U.S. Senate election since 1974 , while McMullin's was the best ever for an independent in a Utah U.S. Senate race and the best for a non-Republican since 1976 .
Republican primary
Incumbent U.S. Senator Mike Lee won over 70% of the vote at the Utah Republican Party state convention on April 23, 2022. Though considered by the party to be its nominee, a primary was still held on June 28, 2022, after two other candidates garnered enough signatures to qualify.[ 1]

Democratic convention
The Utah Democratic Party state convention took place on April 23, 2022.[ 26] Kael Weston was the only Democrat still running; however, the party endorsed Evan McMullin 's independent bid in lieu of nominating a candidate,[ 27] following encouragement from many prominent Democrats in the state, including former Rep. Ben McAdams and Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson , to back McMullin's campaign.

Convention vote
The Utah Democratic Party held a state convention on April 23, 2022, to endorse candidates for state offices.[ 36] [ 37] [ 38] Supporters of independent candidate Evan McMullin , led by Salt Lake County mayor Jenny Wilson , introduced a motion for the state party to forgo nominating a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate and to instead "join Evan McMullin's independent coalition to beat Mike Lee",[ 37] contending that not doing so would split the anti-Lee vote in the general election.[ 37] [ 38] The motion was opposed by supporters of Kael Weston , the lone Democratic candidate for the seat who thus would have received the nomination had the motion failed.[ 38] The delegates passed the motion by a 57–43% margin.[ 37] [ 38]
