Democratic US Senate nominees that got 40 percent or better was (Moss-1976),(Wilson-1982),and (Owens-1992)
Democratic Governor nominees that got 40 percent or better was (Owens-1984),(Orton-2000) and (Matheson-2004)
Can a Democrat win a Utah US Senate Race in 2018?
A top tier Democrat (Matheson,McAdams,or Wilson runs and becomes the Democratic nominee) McMullin runs as an Independent. Republicans nominate Hatch or Romney.
