Utah 1st District

OPEN SEATSafe DREDISTRICTEDWhy the lines changedA Utah judge struck down the Legislature's map for violating Proposition 4, the anti-gerrymandering measure voters passed, and on Nov. 10, 2025, picked a map submitted by the plaintiffs for 2026. It unites Salt Lake County communities that had been split among four districts. The new lines flip the district, going from Trump +20 to Harris +23.6 in the 2024 presidential vote.Source ↗

Blake D. Moore (R) has held this seat since 2021 and is not running; the district was redrawn in November 2025.

FTP Race Signal

FTP Race SignalA composite of market, polling and money. The prediction-market price anchors it; a polling average moves it: the last 30 days, or the three most recent pollsters when fewer polled. Polls paid for by a candidate, party or allied group move 2 points toward the other side and count half. When the three most recent independent pollsters each have the race within three points, it is a Toss-up unless the market is already decisive. Fundraising counts only at a five-to-one gap. Past results are context, not inputs. A rating changes only when the evidence clears the line.

This district was redrawn in November 2025; the 2024 result on the previous lines does not describe it. The market prices the new seat at 99¢ Democratic.
