Utah's 2nd Congressional District currently serves Salt Lake City and the largely rural western and southern portions of Utah, including Saint George and Delta. The current U.S. House Representative is Republican Chris Stewart.
As a result of the 2010 Census[1] and several external attempts to modify Utah's Congressional boundaries, [2]Democrat Jim Matheson, who represented the 2nd District from 2001-2012, sought office in Utah's newly created 4th Congressional District and will represent the 4th District in the 113th U.S. Congress after defeating Republican candidate Mia Love.
A map of current 2012 district boundaries can be found at the Utah Lieutenant Governor's office page: http://elections.utah.gov/map/district-maps [3]
