Mitt Romney, who last appeared on the debate stage as a presidential candidate in 2012, will take on GOP opponent Mike Kennedy in Utah’s GOP Senate debate on May 29.
The Utah Debate Commission announced the debate schedule on Monday, and said debate will take place at Brigham Young University.
Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts and the GOP nominee for president six years ago, will take on Kennedy in the Utah GOP primary scheduled for June 26. Romney was unable to secure the nomination at the state GOP convention last month, leaving voters to decide.
The two candidates are vying for the open Utah Senate seat long held by retiring Republican Orrin Hatch, who backs Romney.
