District 4

The 4th district is based in southwest Salt Lake County, taking in parts of West Valley City and Salt Lake City, as well as South Salt Lake, Taylorsville, Murray, West Jordan, Midvale, South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and Bluffdale. The district also stretches south into eastern Utah County, western Juab County, and northern Sanpete County. The incumbent was Democrat Ben McAdams, who flipped the district and was elected with 50.1% of the vote in 2018. On November 17 the election was called for Burgess Owens, with a margin of less than 1%. Owens won the election by overperforming in traditionally Democratic Salt Lake County, and he ultimately defeated McAdams by 3,765 votes, a larger margin than McAdams won by in 2018. The election was one of the closest House races in the country in 2020, and was not officially called until thirteen days after Election Day.
