Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson’s ruling on Monday called for Utah to redraw its congressional maps, prompting praise from the Democratic Party.
Gibson ruled on a lawsuit between Utah and the League of Women Voters of Utah, Mormon Women for Ethical Government, and Better Boundaries regarding the state legislature’s maps that were drawn and approved in 2021. The maps will either remain tied up in court or need to be redrawn before the 2026 elections.
All four of Utah’s congressional seats are currently held by Republicans. The last time a Democratic candidate won a seat in Utah was in 2018, when former Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams served a single term. McAdams lost his reelection bid to Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT).
