U.S. Senate candidate Caroline Gleich, a Democrat from the Snyderville Basin, conceded prior to the results of the contest with Republican Congressman John Curtis were released.Gleich campaigned on a platform that included addressing affordability, including housing, funding universal pre-kindergarten education and accelerating the move to clean energy.“While the result was not what we had hoped, we focused on critical issues: climate action, public lands and reproductive freedom. We have engaged young people, who have the greatest stake in the future of this country,” Gleich said in a statement Tuesday night. “We led by example and inspired the next generation of leaders to vote, get involved politically and run for office. We proved that people from different backgrounds, who lead regular lives and are first generation politicians, can run for office and make an impact. Most of all, we made the Republican candidate fight for a state which his party normally takes for granted.”She congratulated Curtis on his win.“Throughout the campaign, Rep. Curtis promised to take action on climate, and I look forward to working with him and other legislators on protecting our environment and supporting policies for our families, freedom and future,” Gleich said.Curtis on Tuesday night delivered remarks as he prepares to take office as a senator.“And if you’re not sure where to find me, don’t look by the cameras or the microphones. I’ll be on the Senate floor with my colleagues from both parties. I’ll be meeting with Utahns, visiting our veterans, learning, listening and studying how to solve our difficult problems. And don’t bother telling me that we can’t fix immigration or the budget. I believe we can. Because I believe in the greatness of this country. I believe the Constitution was an inspiring document, and I believe even on our worst day, everybody in the world wants to be us,” he said.The post Short night for Park City’s candidate for senator, who concedes before results released to public appeared first on Park Record.
