Problems with the title:

1. The story is not about one of Utah's 2 US senators, but about one of its state senators. The title should probably say "Utah state senator."

2. There is a missing apostrophe in "reporter's"

He is a Utah senator. It is a job title.

Many people reading this headline will initially assume, as I did, that it refers to one of Utah's two US senators.

Why not add the word "state" and immediately clarify this?

The strict HN title character limits make you consolidate the headline as much as possible.
