Deep Dive: Judge selects Utah's new congressional map

11/11/2025

The Utah State Legislature is responding to a new congressional map selected late last night. Third District Judge Dianna Gibson handed down her ruling just before midnight last night. The maps will be used in the 2026 midterms and could give Democrats a congressional seat here in the Beehive State. Judge Gibson threw out the map submitted by the state legislature, which was approved by lawmakers last month. Instead, she chose a map submitted by the plaintiffs in the case. This afternoon, Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz issued a joint statement reacting to the decision. They said the judge disregarded the Constitution to select a clearly gerrymandered map. They said the choice is not fair to Utahns and is deeply disappointing. They also said the process by which the map was chosen was done in secret and was not a transparent process. In this Deep Dive on Midday, Maria Shilaos gets political analysis from Jason Perry, Director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah and legal analysis from Greg Skordas, KSL Legal Analyst and co-host of Inside Sources.
