Jump to: President House Governor Ballot Measures Primary Results

In the hotly contested Fourth Congressional District, things are not so civil. Voters chose Ben McAdams, a Democrat, in 2018. Republicans hope Burgess Owens, a former professional football player who aligned himself with President Trump, can flip the district back.

Mr. McAdams is trying to distance himself from national Democrats and pick up Republican supporters by positioning himself as a counterweight to the president, who is unpopular even among Republican members of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Still, Mr. Trump is widely expected to capture the state, which he won in 2016 with 45 percent of the vote. — HANK STEPHENSON Read less

4th District ›	WinnerOwens +1.00
Representative Ben McAdams, a Democrat, won the seat from Mia Love, a Republican and rising star, in 2018 by about 700 votes. Republicans have pinned their hopes of flipping the district back on Burgess Owens, a former professional football player who is running as a political outsider and has aligned himself with President Trump. National groups have invested heavily in the race — which is expected to be too close to call on election night — and attack ads have flooded the airwaves in the lead up to the election.
