Elections in Utah |
---|
The 1976 United States Senate election in Utah took place on November 2, 1976. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Frank Moss ran for re-election to a fourth term but was defeated by his Republican opponent Orrin Hatch. This is the last time a Senator from Utah lost re-election.
Hatch eventually became the longest-serving Republican Senator, having been elected for seven terms before retiring during the 2018 election. This record was later overtaken by Chuck Grassley of Iowa in 2022.
