Utah House Democrats on Redistricting Ruling

SALT LAKE CITY—The Utah House Democratic Leadership Team released the following statement in response to the Utah Third District Court decision on League of Women Voters of Utah, et al., v. Utah State Legislature, et al.: 

“We celebrate the Utah Third District Court judge’s decision ruling with the plaintiffs in their challenge of the legislature’s partisan Congressional maps. This verdict is a victory for the people of Utah, who demanded fair representation when they passed Proposition 4 and established an independent redistricting commission. 

This fight is bigger than Utah. Across the country, states like Texas and California are redrawing their congressional boundaries to lock in partisan advantage ahead of the 2026 midterms – an election that will determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Utah is now on the frontlines of this national struggle, where the integrity of our democracy and the principle of fair representation are under direct attack. 

This decision is a powerful affirmation that voters of all backgrounds deserve a voice in the democratic process. Our caucus remains unwavering in our commitment for fair, transparent and representative district boundaries that reflect the true diversity of our state—not maps designed to protect partisan interests. We stand ready to support and fully engage in the redistricting process to ensure that all Utahns are represented in Congress.”
