SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Latest on Tuesday's midterm election in Utah (all times local):

8:55 p.m.

Mitt Romney says his Senate victory in Utah is a call for greater respect, regardless of gender, race or place of birth.

Romney said during an acceptance speech Tuesday that his success affirms that "we are equal, not only in the eyes of God, but also in the respect and dignity we are due from government and from our fellow Americans."

He also said he expects to work with members of both parties on his priorities like balancing the budget, reforming the immigration system and pushing back "against the heavy hand of federal government."

Romney easily won the race to replace retiring fellow Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch after more than 40 years, defeating Democrat Jenny Wilson.

He moved after his 2012 presidential loss to Utah, where he is a beloved adopted son.

After running for every open seat he could find in every state he could buy a house Mitt won one. Nice work Mitt. We were all pulling for you.....at least when we could keep up with where and when you were running.

The assertion "we are all equal" is the level of sanctimonious bullshit
voters can expect to hear from this schmuck during the next 6 years.
Plato told us that we were unique by creation, through our soul, which
differentiates each of us for all eternity.
But jackass Romney knows better???

This is the stepping stone to Mitt's ultimate dream of being given a massive McCain style funeral in all the states he ran in for office.

Congrats to the voters of Utah for electing Romney and Curtis.   I look forward to their contributions,  and the revival of Main Street Republicanism as an alternative to Trumpism.

Yes. Exactly, because when we think of Main Street we think of a Millionaire Michigan born Ex Massachusetts Gov who is now Senator from Utah.
