Fox News
Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson has wasted no time fundraising as he explores the possibility of running for a seat in the U.S. Senate that's currently held by Sen. Mitt Romney.
Partnered with a personal contribution of $1.2 million, Wilson has raised $1,018,586 from various donors in the last three months — with 94% of those donations coming from Utah residents. Though he isn't likely to declare his official decision until sometime this fall, Wilson currently has more than $2.1 million cash on hand. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

"We launched our exploratory committee in Utah earlier in April of this year to try to determine the level of support for my candidacy," Wilson told Fox News Digital. "What we've heard over that period of time is what we thought we would hear.… We've heard that what Utahns are interested in [and] want is they want to have a strong, conservative leader and a fighter back in D.C. to represent Utah."
