Re-districting Maps
I respectfully urge you to Support Map C as Utah’s new congressional map. Below are my reasons and the values this map helps preserve:
1. It best balances urban and rural interests
One of Map C’s strengths is that it mixes urban and rural areas within districts, rather than isolating them. This helps ensure that representatives are accountable to both sides of our state — not just concentrated population centers or exclusively rural regions. This broader perspective helps when it comes to issues like water rights, land use, energy, and infrastructure — matters that cut across urban and rural lines.
(As discussed in news coverage of Map C, GOP leadership has emphasized this mixing as a benefit.) Utah News Dispatch
2. It respects districting criteria and legislative boundaries
Supporters of Map C point out that this option is the only one, among the five maps proposed by the Legislature’s retained expert, that contains the redistricting criteria and legislative boundaries needed to stop unwanted partisan shifts. Utah News Dispatch
In other words: it is the map that best satisfies both the legal and practical constraints placed upon redistricting while also keeping legislative continuity in mind.
3. It is more defensible against judicial rejection
Given the court’s ruling that previous legislative maps were adopted through an unconstitutional process, it is crucial that any new map be less vulnerable to legal challenge. Map C is the one being recommended by GOP leadership and thus is more politically — and legally — “safe” in that it draws on the same standards that the party is defending. Utah News Dispatch+1
If the Legislature adopts a map that is furthest from its internal standard, the political credibility of its decision is weakened.
4. It is the “least bad” option in a constrained process
The current redistricting process has been rushed and constrained by the court’s timeline. Many maps being considered are imperfect, and none will please everyone. GOP leadership has called Map C “the best option among all bad options.” Utah News Dispatch
Given the constraints, Map C strikes a balance between political necessity, legal defensibility, and geographic coherence.
5. It helps protect Republican representation in a changing environment
Map C offers a path to preserve the Republican advantage while still complying with legal and constitutional standards. By mixing more moderate or competitive elements into districts, it hedges against potential shifts in voter behavior without conceding control.
Given the high stakes for Utah’s voice in Washington, this kind of “prudent protection” matters greatly.
Conclusion & Call to Action
Map C is not perfect — but it is the most viable, defensible, and strategically sound choice under the current political and legal constraints. It respects geographic logic, legislative continuity, and Utah’s unique blend of urban and rural interests. Importantly, it is the map GOP leaders have explicitly backed, which provides coherence and internal consistency in what will inevitably be a contested process.
I encourage party Members to Support Map C and put an end to this uncertainty. Utah deserves a map that is balanced, defensible, and respectful of every community’s voice.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
