(KCPW News) This year’s election for U.S. Senate could be a rematch. After challenging him in 2000, former Utah Senate Minority Leader Scott Howell is once again mounting a campaign against incumbent Orrin Hatch, who’s seeking a seventh term in office.

But after taking just 31 percent of the vote in the last election, how would he be successful this time? We talked with Howell about his qualifications and strategy.
