Submitted Biography "I’d like Utah to be seen as the thoughtful, ethical, and caring people they are. I would bring thoughtful, compassionate, and fair leadership that focuses on the needs of American families. I’d like to end partisanship and get the government working again. We need to ensure that ALL people's rights are protected and that each American can live a life consistent with their personal values and beliefs."


Key Messages

Each adult in America should have complete autonomy over their bodies and be able to make the choices for themselves that they feel are best. Healthcare decisions should be between an individual and their doctor. Parents should be free to make the best decisions for their children without interference from the government. I am pro-choice and will fight for reproductive and trans rights.


Drought, poor air quality, and forest fires are only a few of the environmental crises impacting Utah. It is our duty to safeguard Utah's environmental resources for future generations, while also recognizing the symbiotic relationship between environmental preservation and a thriving economy.


The US economy boasts impressive growth and record-low unemployment rates, but we can't overlook the glaring issues of income inequality and unaffordable housing. For forty years, wealth has concentrated in the hands of a few, while too many struggle to make ends meet and provide for their families. It's time to prioritize policies that create better-paying jobs and make housing more affordable for all. We need to build an economy that lifts everyone up, not just those at the top.

Submitted Biography "I am a political psychologist researching the harmful effects of America's two-party system and what motivates elected officials to behave as they do. The people want better political options. Both the Democratic AND Republican parties look beyond the mark, failing in the true purpose of government. My mission is to restore Congress to its true, intended function. Representing the people; not the money, not the party bureaucracy— the PEOPLE."


Key Messages

PROPORTIONAL VOTE, FAIR ELECTION • Political parties deserve to nominate candidates – only proportional to their registered voters. • This will help us solve REAL issues and overcome centuries of bureaucratic misrepresentation. • Applied consistently across all levels of government, without partisan bias. Example: Utah has 4 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Only about 50% of state's registered voters are affiliated with the Republican party. The Republicans should only nominate 2 candidates to any of the 4 seats. This does not mean Democrats get the other 2 seats, as the party only has about 20-25% of voter affiliates. They would nominate only one candidate, and would still have to battle independents and 3rd party.


AFFORDABLE HOMES, STRONG COMMUNITIES • Regulate large out-of-state corporations buying rental properties. • Protect lower and middle class from unjust displacement by private owners. • Build more apartments and starter homes to stabilize the housing market.


EMPOWER TEACHERS, ELEVATE EDUCATION • Classes should have more support, more than one teacher per class. • Better compensation for teachers, and clear responsibilities for student benefit. • Personalized curriculum to address academic learning differences among children.

I feel that the federal government needs less power, and the states should have some of that back. We need to decentralize taxes. Taxes should stop at the state level and be budgeted more by the states' legislatures. States should pay dues to the federal government as approved by congress. This would work better if the 17th Amendment is repealed (U.S. Senators chosen by state legislature, not people). This would be a direct antagonization to bureaucratic political corruption.
Divisive politics and culture wars are harming our country. I will reject extremism, champion freedom and bring civility, unity, and representation to Washington. I will foster dialogue and collaboration to advance freedom, autonomy, and equality, forging a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

M. Evan Bullard (Unaffiliated)

Elected officials must be driven to fulfill the true purpose of their office (House of Representatives represents the people – not political parties or other institutions; Senate represents the states' legislatures, President represents responsibility – not publicly)
When considering the most important characteristics for an elected official, a few key principles stand out. First and foremost is **listening**—truly hearing and understanding the diverse needs and perspectives of constituents is essential for effective representation. This means more than just acknowledging voices; it involves actively engaging with the community to ensure their concerns are genuinely reflected in decision-making.

Another critical trait is **curiosity**. An elected official must be driven to continually learn and explore new information, perspectives, and ideas. This curiosity helps them navigate the complexities of governance and fosters innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the community.

Equally important is a strong **desire for collaboration**. No single person has all the answers, and the best outcomes are often achieved through collective effort. A successful leader works across the aisle and engages with various stakeholders—experts, community leaders, and citizens—to build consensus and craft policies that benefit everyone.

Finally, a **willingness to be wrong** is crucial. An elected official who can admit mistakes, learn from them, and adjust their approach shows integrity and a true commitment to serving the public. This humility ensures that decisions are made based on the best available information and in the community's best interest.

Together, these principles—listening, curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to be wrong—form the foundation of effective leadership, ensuring that an elected official can serve with honesty, adaptability, and dedication.

M. Evan Bullard (Unaffiliated)

I know who I am and what I represent. I am a man with a mission and will do what it takes to restore congress to its true function.
The qualities I possess that I believe would make me a successful officeholder include a strong commitment to **listening**, **curiosity**, **collaboration**, **empathy**, and **understanding**. I prioritize truly hearing and valuing the diverse perspectives of my constituents, which allows me to represent them effectively. My curiosity drives me to continuously seek out new information and explore different viewpoints, which is crucial for innovative problem-solving. I have a deep desire for collaboration, understanding that the best solutions often come from working together with others. Additionally, I bring empathy and understanding to my role, ensuring that decisions are made with the well-being of all community members in mind. Finally, I have a willingness to be wrong, recognizing that humility and the ability to learn from mistakes are essential for growth and effective leadership. These qualities, combined, enable me to serve with integrity, adaptability, and dedication.

My legacy will be breaking the two-party system to fix congress.
Since leaving home at the age of 15, I’ve taken on a variety of jobs, each contributing to who I am today. I’ve worked as a painter, horse trainer, mucked stalls, harvested fruit, served as a housekeeper and nanny, and even worked in electronics manufacturing on a production line. No matter the task, I always gave it my all. Every job taught me valuable lessons and skills that have shaped my journey and prepared me for the challenges I face today.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Utah in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 26, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirteen candidates ran for Utah’s four U.S. House districts, including three Democrats and 10 Republicans. That’s 3.25 candidates per district. There were 3.25 candidates per district in 2022, 3.75 candidates per district in 2020, and 2.5 in 2018.

The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district in Utah in 2024, tying with 2020 and 2014 for the most this decade.

Incumbent John Curtis (R-03) did not run for re-election because he ran for the U.S. Senate.

Six candidates—one Democrat and five Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Utah in 2024.

Three primaries—all Republican—were contested in 2024. Four primaries were contested in 2022, three primaries were contested in 2020, and two were in 2018.

Two incumbents—Blake Moore (R-01) and Celeste Maloy (R-02)—were in contested primaries in Utah in 2024. That’s less than the four incumbents in contested primaries in 2022 but more than the zero incumbents in contested primaries in 2020.

The 2nd Congressional District was guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats appeared on the ballot. Republicans filed to run in every congressional district, meaning none were guaranteed to Democrats.

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
