Utah's 4th Congressional District is a new congressional district created as a result of the 2010 Census.[1] Prior to 2010 reapportionment, Utah had three congressional districts.[1]
The district includes parts of Salt Lake County, Utah County, Juab County, and Sanpete County.[2][3][4] Candidates first appeared on the 2012 ballot and will be seated for the 113th Congress in 2013. A map of the district boundaries can be found at the Utah Lieutenant Governor's office page: http://elections.utah.gov/map/district-maps[5]
2012 party candidates included Democratic U.S. Congressman Jim Matheson, who represented Utah's 2nd congressional district 2001–2012, and Republican nominee Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs.
Matheson ran in Utah's 4th congressional district in 2012 as a result of redistricting.
On April 21, 2012, Mia Love overcame two state representatives, Stephen Sandstrom and Carl Wimmer, at the Republican state convention to become the party's representative on the 2012 ballot. Had she been elected, she would have become the first black female Republican in U.S. Congress history.
Democratic candidate Jim Matheson won the election against Mia Love on November 6, 2012, and represents Utah's 4th congressional district.[6]
