Sources re-checked September 25, 2026 · How we research

  • Utah's congressional map was redrawn for 2026 by court order in League of Women Voters v. Utah State Legislature. As a result, incumbent Blake Moore — who represented the old 1st District — is running for this newly drawn 2nd District rather than a district with the same boundaries he previously held. Moore defeated Karianne Lisonbee 56.7%-43.3% in the June 23, 2026 Republican primary.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.
