Declined to run

Romney declined to run for president in 2016. During a conference call with donors and journalists on January 30, 2015, Romney explained, "After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee."[64]

Prior to his final decision, Romney stated on September 8, 2014, "Let me tell you, it was a great experience running for president. I loved that. But my time has come and gone. I had that opportunity. I ran, I didn't win."[65] Romney's name garnered attention with regard to the race after his name was placed on a straw poll in Iowa on September 1, 2014.[66] A September 22, 2014, opinion piece in The Hill called the potential duo of Romney and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval a "perfect Republican dream team."[67]

Involvement in Republican primary process

According to Jonathan Easley of The Hill, Mitt Romney has become involved in the Republican primary process. On June 25, 2015, Easley wrote, "Romney is working to connect select candidates with his vast political network, urging the party to learn from his past mistakes, attacking Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and taking forceful stances on controversial issues."[68] Romney planned private meetings with Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Marco Rubio in July 2015.[69]

Campaign themes

2018

Campaign website

Romney’s campaign website stated the following:

“

The Constitution
I believe in the wisdom and intent of the United States Constitution. Among constitutional principles which must be reestablished are these:

  • Powers not reserved to the federal government must be returned to the states. States should guide their own policies regarding such matters as education, transportation, healthcare, care for the poor, and school safety.
  • Laws should originate with the Legislative branch not the Judicial branch or unelected bureaucrats.

Taxes
I support the Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The corporate tax cut will encourage real wage growth; the only way to raise real wages is for businesses to grow, compete with other businesses for employees, and raise the wages they offer to recruit. The tax cut will thus not only let people keep more of their wages, it will help raise their wages. While I would have voted for the Act, had I been in the Senate at the time it was being drafted, I would have fought to make it revenue neutral rather than adding to the deficit.

Budget & Debt
Like Senator Mike Lee, I am a deficit hawk. I believe it is inexcusable to add $500 billion to $1 trillion annually to the debt, saddling us and our children with hundreds of billions of dollars of interest. I will work with like-minded senators who will oppose a budget process that prevents effective debate, amendments, and spending caps. I will look to eliminate ineffective and wasteful programs and to reform entitlements for people under 55 years of age.

The recent “take-it-or-shut-down-government” Continuing Resolution process with no debate, no amendments, no time for review, and no adherence to spending caps must be replaced. I will work with other like-minded senators to refuse to bend to such a tactic.

Public Land
With two-thirds of Utah held as public land, it is my priority to obtain greater local and state involvement in decision-making and management of public lands. I support multiple use of these lands and will work to prevent excessive land grabs by presidents and federal bureaucrats. The Antiquities Act and the Endangered Species Act should both be reformed to require state approvals and local involvement. The State of Utah should assume management responsibility for select public lands when economically feasible, initially on a pilot basis.

Agriculture
We should respect and appreciate the contribution of Utah’s agricultural industry to our economy and our security by resolving the uncertainty and federal overreach associated with public land usage, reducing the excessive number of wild horses and burros, and fostering sustainable forest and land management policies. I favor trade policies that open markets for Utah’s agriculture exports. The number of visas for crop, livestock, and dairy workers should be decided on the state level rather than the federal level.

Clean Air & Energy
I support greater efficiency standards in cars, trucks, and factories to reduce energy consumption and pollution. I support the utilization of all our energy resources including gas, coal, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydro, and solar. We are fortunate Utah’s coal power plants, which provide over 75 percent of our electricity, are at the forefront of the clean coal industry.

Foreign Policy
America’s leadership and greatness is the result of our economic strength, a military that is second to none, our promotion of freedom, and the fundamental goodness of our people.

The decision to send troops into a foreign country must be made only when a substantial American interest is at stake. This should be a very high hurdle.

We should maintain clear superiority in conventional military capabilities and at least parity in nuclear capabilities. American military strength is the best friend peace has ever known.

We must promote our values of freedom and free enterprise through our diplomacy, economic ties, alliances and other soft power tools.

When nations attack our infrastructure, elections, technology, or vital interests, we should retaliate and punish their behavior with appropriate and meaningful measures.

Immigration
I support legal immigration. I respect and welcome those who have followed the law and have made the United States their home. Our nation is stronger and more vibrant by virtue of a strong legal immigration system.

The legal immigration system should be merit based, giving applicants credit for such things as English fluency, having a trade or technical skill, personal savings, and advanced degrees so these individuals may become assets to their communities and prosper in our country.

I firmly oppose illegal immigration. I support measures to secure our national borders. I support a simplified legal status verification system that will allow an employer to know whether a prospective employee is in the United States legally and that will sanction employers who nevertheless hire people here illegally.

I support President Trump’s proposal, made earlier this year, to give Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) individuals legal status. However, I oppose giving these individuals a special pathway to citizenship. I support ending chain migration and the visa lottery program.

Trade & Tariffs
I support trade with other countries; as a net export state, Utah benefits from foreign trade. In some instances, nations or companies have cheated on trade agreements and America should take punitive action against them. Further, we have done too little to help American citizens who have been disproportionately impacted by automation and trade policies.

I oppose broad-based tariffs but I will support focused tariffs that penalize cheaters and dumping. President Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs are being narrowed to impact only the offending nations rather than our EU, Canadian, or Mexican allies. As a net-exporting state, trade benefits Utah’s economy.

Healthcare
The Affordable Care Act should be repealed and not replaced by another one-size-fits all bureaucracy. In its place, states should be given flexibility with their Medicaid funds to implement their own programs for caring for the poor.

Health insurance costs must be reined in. I will apply my career experience in healthcare and finance to install market-based incentives to reduce costs. This will include transparency in provider pricing and quality information to consumers. I will promote cost-sharing insurance policies and health savings accounts. Further, I support requiring pharmaceutical companies to spread the cost of drug development with other countries, reducing the huge price inequity Americans experience.

Opioid Crisis
A multi-front approach is needed.

On the supply front: pressure Mexico, China, and other countries to curtail the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S.; establish better detection at our border; stop drug companies from promoting opioids to physicians; make it easier for law enforcement to shut down “drug mills” that fill obviously false prescriptions; and establish a federal database to identify multiple prescribers and abusers across state lines.

On the demand front: provide counseling and treatment for those who want to escape drug addictions; and assure that first responders are equipped with necessary medications to prevent overdose deaths.

Second Amendment
I support the second amendment. Gun laws and school safety measures should be established by each state, not imposed by the federal government. I do not support newly proposed federal gun legislation with the exception of the removal of bump stocks for public sale and an updated background check system promoted by Congress and President Trump.

Life, Family & Religion
I am pro-life and pro-family. I will defend religious liberty and will only vote to confirm judicial nominees who will fully honor the First Amendment guarantee of the same.

Utah Values
My parents were both raised in Utah and thus my home was imbued with Utah values; they filled us with the love of God, reverence for freedom, respect for others, and the importance of service, civility, and frugality. Ann and I have enjoyed our residency in Utah for ten years, first during college, while leading the Olympics, and after my career, having made Utah our permanent home.

Action, Not Just Talk
By virtue of the relationships I have in Washington, with other senators and the President, I will be able to accomplish more for the people of Utah than the average junior senator. I have built valuable relationships throughout my decades of work in public service, as head of the Salt Lake Olympics, and during my presidential campaigns, that will prepare me to serve the people of Utah through meaningful action.

Talk is cheap but action is essential if we are to overcome the challenges facing our families, our state, and our nation. My record of getting things done in the private sector, community, and government, is evidence that I can and will do what needs to be done for the people of Utah. [76]
