Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) hasn’t officially announced whether he will run for a second term, but if he does run, he may have a well-known and well-financed primary opponent in Utah state Rep. Brad Wilson, speaker of the Utah House of Representatives.

In April, Mr. Wilson announced that he is exploring a run for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
