The midterm general election in Utah is scheduled for November 3, 2026. The ballot will include all four U.S. House seats, half of the state Senate seats, all 75 state House seats, and several seats on the Utah State Board of Education.
Following the June 23 primaries, candidates have advanced to the general election. This election cycle does not include any races for governor or U.S. Senate.
Redistricting has created a more competitive environment in the 1st Congressional District, which is now centered on Salt Lake County. The Republican nominee for this district is Riley Owen, a Navy Reserve intelligence officer and former White House staffer who advocates for term limits and zoning reforms. He faces Democrat Ben McAdams, a former U.S. representative and Salt Lake County mayor, who is focusing his campaign on affordability and inflation. Also running in District 1 are Libertarian Jesse West and unaffiliated candidate Elias Henry Montgomery.
In the 2nd Congressional District, incumbent Republican Blake Moore is seeking reelection with a platform centered on immigration and military strength. His Democratic opponent, Peter Crosby, is focusing on healthcare, housing, and the Great Salt Lake. The race also includes Libertarian Daniel Cottam, Independent American Carlton E. Bowen, and unaffiliated Robert M. Moesinger.
Republican incumbent Celeste Maloy will run in the 3rd Congressional District after defeating Phil Lyman in the primary. Her platform includes border security and energy issues. She will be challenged by Democrat Kent Udell, who emphasizes public lands and water conservation. Other candidates for this seat include Cassie Easley of the Constitution Party, Libertarian Michael R. Stoddard, and unaffiliated Adonis Hooslyn and Ayden Scott.
In the 4th Congressional District, incumbent Republican Mike Kennedy is running following redistricting shifts. He is campaigning on fiscal responsibility and limited government. His Democratic challenger is Jonny Larsen, a Marine Corps veteran focusing on housing and wages. Taylor Wright for the Libertarian Party and unaffiliated Steven Burt are also on the ballot.
The Utah state legislature races involve dozens of candidates across the state. Notable Republican nominees include Scott Sandall, Jill Koford, Brooks Benson, Kirk Cullimore, and Evan J. Vickers in the Senate, along with House candidates Mike Schultz, Raymond Ward, and Candice Pierucci. Democratic candidates appearing in filings include Claudia Bigler, Karen Kwan, and Jen Plumb.
Additionally, several Utah State Board of Education seats are up for election. Republican candidates include incumbents or challengers such as Jennie Earl, Joseph Kerry, and LeAnn Wood, while Democrat Cathy Callow-Heusser is running in District 1.
Election issues across the state frequently center on housing affordability, education, water, public lands, and taxes. Voters can access official candidate filings and results through the Utah lieutenant governor’s website or the official results portal. As is typical in Utah, mail ballots will be used for the November 3 election.
