Voters in Utah might choose to support a Senate candidate from neither the Republican nor Democratic parties this fall, and become the first conservative state to send an independent to the Senate in more than 40 years.
“Utah is a very conservative state,” Henderson said. “And yet we can work together to find solutions to these problems that typically seem right and left. But here in the state, they're just right or wrong.”Both Henderson and Murray identified The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a leading factor for why Utah Republicans don’t fit the same mold as the traditional southern or midwestern Republican.
Murray points out how Republican support among Utah church members — once the most loyal GOP voters in the country — has waned during the Trump years, as Republican support among evangelical Christians has grown,“Republicans have their own vibe here... very open to immigration, very open to bringing in refugees — especially religious refugees — because that history for them matters,” Murray said.
“If you read early accounts of Utahns here,” McMullin said, “there was a sense of community and a commitment to working together to solve problems. And that's still a part of our political culture and our social culture here in Utah.”Sixty percent of U.S. voters say they want a third political party to break the Democratic and Republican duopoly, according to a recent. But America’s winner-take-all political system makes it very hard for a third party to emerge.
