Salt Lake City—Evan McMullin will officially file his declaration of candidacy for U.S. Senate on Friday. This event is open to the media.

When: Friday, March 4, at 12:15 p.m. MT
Where: Utah State Capitol, Office of the Lt. Gov., Suite 220
*Media will need to gather outside the office or on the steps of the Capitol with other supporters. 
Who: Evan McMullin

“I’m running to defend American commitment to the values that make us strong,” McMullin said. “Increasingly, our values are under threat by political extremes and self-serving politicians. As a result, we’ve become so divided that we’re failing to overcome major challenges – like the high cost of health care, rising inflation, poor air quality, lack of water and various national security threats – thereby putting our future at risk. 

“Senator Lee has lost his way in Washington and become a poster child for the politics of division and extremism,” McMullin continued. “He prefers to engage in attention-seeking obstructionism than in constructive service. It’s time to call him home. Utah needs better representation in Washington and Washington needs Utah’s leadership more than ever. 

“A majority of Utahns – patriotic Republicans, Democrats and independents – want to replace Mike Lee. We are building this growing coalition to send more effective, unifying leadership to Washington. We invite all to join us.”
