Meet the Candidate: Orrin Hatch

KUER 90.1 | By Doug Fabrizio

Monday, Doug sits down with Senator Orrin Hatchat the Hinckley Institute of Politics. Senator Hatch is the longest-serving Republican member in the upper chamber, having represented Utah since 1977. Though colleagues like Utah's own Bob Bennett and Indiana's Richard Lugar lost the nomination to tea-party challengers, Hatch handily won his GOP primary race. We'll ask Senator Hatch what his vision is for a seventh – and what he has said will be his final – term in office.

We spoke with Senator Hatch's Democratic challenger Scott Howell on September 25th. Click the link below to listen to that interview.
