US Senate:

GOP Sen. Mike Lee is running to serve for another six-year term and easily defeated Ally Isom and state Rep. Becky Edwards in Utah's Republican primary.

There will be no Democratic nominee this year in the Senate race, as the party has coalesced around and endorsed independent candidate Evan McMullin, who ran for president as an independent in 2016. While McMullin won no electoral votes in 2016, he did capture more than 21 percent of Utah's presidential popular vote and placed third behind Republican winner Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
