I'd say the intro and background sections do a good job of reputation; it might be warranted to include some additional background information, though. At least specific policies/actions he was behind and would subsequently highlight during his run. For example, I've read his role in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act's passage was noted by the press and the candidate himself. I believe it's all suitable as is, however.
Certain sources are used extensively and in different sections, but they do provide the bulk of available analysis of this pretty non-viable bid, so that is perfectly fine.
For the "Expressed interest" section, two things: when mention is made of his prowess on the judicial committee, it could be noted here his loss of support amongst some Republicans as per his cooperation with Clinton's bench nominees; also, and I'm not sure myself, did Hatch ever pointer to a presidential bid prior to 1999? If not, obviously no mention needed.
Was there ever an Orrin Hatch 2000 campaign website? I believe other candidates during the season's primaries had primeval webpages, but I wouldn't be stunned if Hatch's team did not put anything online
As for the aftermath section, I'm sure much else is needed. Hatch certainly partook in more than is listed, but little of it stems from this campaign. It might be applicable to add his subsequent presidential endorsements beyond Bush and before Trump even though they are a foregone conclusion. Lastly, maybe you could add some mention of Mitt Romney being the most successful Mormon presidential candidate by far 12 years later. Hatch hardly paved the path ahead for Mitt, but I would imagine someone asked for a comment on his run relative to their shared faith.

A very fine article about a basically forgotten political footnote. Not much work to be done beyond the above, all the criteria have been met, sources are strong, and the images are fair use.QatarStarsLeague (talk) 05:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
QatarStarsLeague, I just wanted to ping you because I've made some edits to the page to address your GA review. I added a brief bit to the aftermath describing Mitt Romney and his connection to Orrin Hatch. As far as a campaign website goes, I was unable to find one that had been archived, though it is possible that one existed and may be archived under a name that I am unfamiliar with. Additionally, I can add more information to the other sections of this article if requested, but I'm afraid that much of the information I could add would be of little direct relevance to his campaign and would be better suited on his main page. Thank you again for reviewing this article and apologies for the late reply, but if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 02:35, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
No surprise that the website was either never created or not archived...I think all that was really needed was a brief mention of Romney and his faith (most readers I imagine would draw to mind his campaign while reading this)...yes, most additional information doesn't exactly pertain to the race as  it doesn't seem his directly platformed anything not mentioned in the article already...pass.QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:08, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
