John Ream Curtis (born May 10, 1960) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Utah's 3rd congressional district since 2017.[1][2] Before his election to Congress, Curtis, a Republican, served as mayor of Provo, Utah, from 2010 to 2017. On November 7, 2017, he won a special election to replace Jason Chaffetz in Congress after Chaffetz resigned. He was reelected in 2018, 2020, and 2022. He is the Republican nominee in the 2024 United States Senate election in Utah.[3]
A former Democrat, Curtis is generally considered to be a moderate Republican.[4][5][6] He is the founder of the Conservative Climate Caucus and is a member of the centrist Republican Governance Group. Curtis did not support Donald Trump during the 2024 Republican primaries.[7][8] Given his votes for bills such as the Respect for Marriage Act, analysts have generally considered Curtis' positions as similar to current Senator Mitt Romney's.[9][10][11][12]
