“The 2nd Congressional District is big and politically complicated—an opportunity as much as a challenge. I love the boundaries of the district and I wouldn’t change them at all. Politics, after all, should be about inclusion not exclusion.”
—Kael Weston
As we have talked to people around the country about Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, they are surprised at the diversity and intensity of the landscape. The district includes:
- The Great Salt Lake, south side
- The Bonneville Salt Flats
- Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
- Pando, the world’s oldest and heaviest living organism at Fishlake National Forest
- Zion National Park
- Bryce Canyon National Park
- Red Cliffs National Conservation Area
- Capitol Reef National Park
- Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
- and so much more.
This area includes ten full counties (Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Millard, Piute, Sevier, Tooele, Washington, and Wayne) and significant portions of four more counties (Davis, Juab, Salt Lake, and Sanpete) as well as the whole of Salt Lake City (Utah’s most populous city) and most of West Valley City (#2), St. George (#8), Cedar City (#29), and smaller cities and towns.
