Incumbent Rep. Blake Moore holds a modest edge in the Utah 2nd Congressional District Republican primary over state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, with the June 23 vote approaching. Lisonbee secured 61.5 percent support at the party convention, highlighting local conservative backing in the newly drawn northern Utah district, while Moore qualified via signatures and draws endorsements from state Senate leadership. Their June 1 debate focused on data centers, Great Salt Lake water issues, and redistricting impacts, underscoring divides over local priorities versus Moore’s national GOP role. The tight contest reflects competing appeals to convention delegates versus broader primary voters, with mail ballots already distributed and limited time remaining for shifts in turnout or endorsements.
