Heading into the election, the incumbent was Mitt Romney (Republican), who was first elected in 2018.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. In Utah, state law allows parties to decide who may vote in their primaries.[2] Check Vote.Utah.gov for details about upcoming elections.

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
