The2012 United States Senate election in Utah took place on November 6, 2012, concurrently with the2012 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to theUnited States Senate andHouse of Representatives and as various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican U.S. SenatorOrrin Hatch won re-election to a seventh and final term against the Democratic candidate, former state senator andIBM executiveScott Howell, in a rematch of the2000 Senate election, with Hatch doing slightly better than in 2000.[2]

Background

[edit]

Orrin Hatch won re-election to a sixth term after winning 62.4% of the vote againstPete Ashdown in the 2006 U.S. senatorial election in Utah.Tea Party activists targeted Hatch for a primary challenge, similar to the victory ofMike Lee overBob Bennett in the2010 election.[3]

Campaign

[edit]

In 2006, incumbent Orrin Hatch won re-election to a sixth term. In 2008, Chaffetz defeated the incumbent Republican U.S. Representative,Chris Cannon, in the 2008 primary forUtah's 3rd congressional district. In 2010,Mike Lee defeatedBob Bennett in the2010 Utah Senate election.[3] In March 2011, just-elected U.S. SenatorMike Lee said he will not endorse Hatch in the primary.[16] In May 2011, Chaffetz told several Utah political insiders that he plans to run. He said he won't make an official decision until afterLabor Day of 2011.[17]

In June 2011, prominent conservative radio talk show hostMark Levin endorsed Hatch.[18] The fiscally conservative501(c)4 organizationClub for Growth encouraged Chaffetz to run. The group cited Hatch's support for theTroubled Asset Relief Program,State Children's Health Insurance Program,No Child Left Behind Act,Bridge to Nowhere, and other votes among the reasons why they opposed his re-election.[19] In an interview withPolitico, Chaffetz stated, "After 34 years of service, I think most Utahans want a change. They want to thank him for his service, but it's time to move on. And for me personally, I think he's been on the wrong side of a host of major issues." The congressman cited Hatch's vote in favor ofEqual Opportunity to Serve Act and theHealth Equity and Access Reform Today Act of 1993.[20] However, Chaffetz ultimately decided against a run.
