Salt Lake City • Financial disclosures show former presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a large leg up on his opponent heading into Utah Republican primary next Tuesday.
Romney’s campaign reported raising nearly $2 million between April and June. He spent $1.4 million in that period and has roughly $1.6 million in the bank.
His opponent is state lawmaker Mike Kennedy. Kennedy raised $152,000 in the same period and heads into the primary with $66,000 on hand.
Romney is the heavy favorite in the primary. Whichever Republican wins the nomination will be favored against Democrat Jenny Wilson at the general election in November.
