SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s Republican congressmen will all keep their jobs.
It seemed as if Blake Moore, Chris Stewart, John Curtis and Burgess Owens barely broke a sweat last night as they soared to victory in their respective districts.
Moore swept past his opponent leading Democrat Rick Jones by 40%.
The other three congressmen also had comfortable leads of 20% plus over their opponents late last night.
Evan McMullin made an almost eleventh-hour concession to incumbent Sen. Mike Lee saying he hopes Lee upholds the constitution during his term.
Lee said Utah spoke “loudly… and clearly” with their vote.
