Ballotpedia identified the June 23 Republican primary for Utah's 2nd Congressional District as a battleground primary. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

Incumbent Blake Moore (R) defeated Karianne Lisonbee (R) in the Republican primary for Utah's 2nd Congressional District on June 23, 2026. Click here for detailed results.

The election took place in the context of redistricting, which changed the district boundaries from those used in 2024. Incumbent Celeste Maloy (R) ran for re-election in the 3rd District. Moore was the incumbent in the 1st District, which Utah News Dispatch's Alixel Cabrera said "[is] on a likely path to turn blue ... It’s a major shakeup for Republicans, who have occupied all federal offices in recent years." Utah Senate President Stuart Adams (R) endorsed Moore and Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz (R) endorsed Lisonbee.

The redistricting occurred in November 2025 after a state judge ruled the legislature had violated voters' constitutional rights when it overturned Proposition 4, a ballot measure voters approved 50.3%–49.7% in 2018 that created an independent redistricting commission. Politico's Samuel Benson said Moore's co-chairmanship of the committee that supported Proposition 4 "is fueling a primary challenge and could potentially hinder his future hopes at statewide office ... Lisonbee and other political foes have nicknamed Moore 'Salt Lake Blake,' suggesting he run in the blue district they blame him for creating." Lisonbee defeated Moore 61.5%–33.7% at the nominating convention. Utah Political Watch's Bryan Schott said, "Moore has never won the delegate vote at the GOP convention."

Moore was elected to the House in 2020. He was elected vice chairman of the House Republican Conference in 2023. Moore's campaign website said he was "the first Utahn ever elected to leadership in the House or the Senate" and said he "has built one of the most effective records of any member of Congress in his class ... His work has earned national recognition, including being named the 2025 Best of Constituent Service winner."

Lisonbee was elected to the Utah House of Representatives in 2016 and served on the Syracuse City Council from 2011 to 2017. Lisonbee's campaign website said she had "never wavered on her principles — not once. ... She is not a transplant looking for a seat. She is home. Utah's newly drawn 2nd Congressional District deserves a representative who matches its convictions."

As of June 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Solid/Safe Republican.

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals. The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’ve worked hard to deliver real results for Northern Utah, and I’m running for another term to keep fighting for our state and advancing conservative priorities in Congress. As Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference, I’ve worked to make sure Utah has a strong voice in national leadership. I’m focused on cutting taxes, growing our economy, defending our freedoms, keeping our communities safe, and delivering for working families.

Here’s the experience, record, and conservative leadership I bring to Congress:

• Serving as Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference, helping elevate Utah in national leadership • Serving on the Ways & Means Committee, Budget Committee, and Steering Committee • Delivering more initiatives in the Working Families Tax Cuts than any other committee member • Being named a “Fiscal Hero” by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget • Earning the endorsement of the National Rifle Association for defending the Second Amendment • Earning an A+ on the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America National Scorecard • Receiving the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Spirit of Enterprise” award for supporting Utah small businesses • Promoting an aspirational, pro-growth, conservative vision for the next generation

• Staying rooted in Utah as a lifelong Ogden resident, husband to Jane, and dad to four boys. I travel to Washington for votes, but I come home each week to coach Little League and stay involved in what matters most.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• With Utahns struggling with housing and high cost of living, I’m laser focused on growing the economy, increasing wages, building more housing, slashing expensive regulations, and creating jobs through my role on the Ways and Means Committee. I helped prevent the largest tax hike in history by drafting key provisions in the working families tax cuts. This legislation made tax cuts permanent, put more money in Utahns’ pockets, doubled the child tax credit, ended tax on tips, car loan interest, social security benefits, and overtime, increased wages by up to $7,200 per worker, created Trump Accounts, and boosted the standard deduction. It prioritized domestic manufacturing, supply chain security, and policies that strengthen America.
• I’m an advocate for a strong national defense rooted in Utah. As co-chair of the House Air Force Caucus and the House Depot Caucus, I am a proven advocate for Hill Air Force Base and Utah’s defense workforce. From securing funding for Hill priorities to bringing maintenance programs and new defense infrastructure to Northern Utah to streamlining depot hiring to supporting military families, I have fought to strengthen our defense and military installations and make sure our service members have what they need.
• I prioritize safety for our community and families, secure borders, and a lawful immigration system. House Republicans passed strong border security legislation and have been focused on commonsense immigration reforms that protect public safety, respect legal immigrants, and uphold the rule of law.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I care deeply about fiscal responsibility, reining in federal overreach, and ensuring our federal policies reflect common sense, accountability, and respect for the Constitution. Cost of living, economy and jobs, and tackling the debt and deficit are top issues for me. I led the charge for permanent tax reform to keep more of your money in your hands, increase the take-home pay for a family of four by $10,900, and cut wasteful spending. I helped make tax rates more competitive to achieve higher annual growth, and we decreased the deficit year over year in a historic win. I’m fighting to support families, lower health care costs, cut burdensome regulations, and tackle the fraud and waste driving inflation and high prices.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I am proud to be supported by Northern Utah families, workers, teachers, ranchers, veterans, nurses, engineers, entrepreneurs, accountants, community leaders, business owners, elected officials, and more at the local and state level who know our district and believe in common-sense leadership focused on economic growth, security, and accountability. I am also endorsed by President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.

Campaign website

Moore's campaign website stated the following:

Blake Moore is delivering conservative results that strengthen Utah's economy, protect our national security, and support families across Northern Utah. His work reflects Utah's values, the America First principles that drive our nation forward, and a commitment to effective leadership.

Strengthening Hill Air Force Base

Hill Air Force Base is one of the most important military installations in the nation, and one of Blake Moore's top priorities. Through his work on the Air Force and Depot caucuses, he delivered major wins by passing Hill Air Force Base's biggest priorities into law. These included bringing 4,000 new jobs through full funding of the Sentinel program, constructing six new buildings for our nuclear program, improving veteran hiring, modernizing our depots, and partnering with the Davis County community to build new infrastructure.

Honoring America's Heroes

Medal of Honor Monument Act

As the House Republican freshman with the highest statistical legislative success rate, Blake Moore proudly saw his Medal of Honor Monument Act signed into law. This bipartisan act honors America's bravest servicemembers with a permanent monument in our nation's capital. The bill passed both the House and Senate unanimously and will ensure the recipients of the highest military honor are recognized with the dignity and gratitude they deserve.

Stopping Washington's Addiction to Debt

Debt and Deficit Task Force

Blake Moore launched the Debt and Deficit Task Force to confront our skyrocketing national debt and fix a broken budgeting process that threatens our future. The Task Force brings together Utah business and community leaders who understand fiscal responsibility, not political games, and their recommendations focus on four conservative pillars: grow the economy, save and strengthen vital programs, cut wasteful spending, and force Congress to finally do its job. Blake continues to use this Utah-driven, commonsense framework on the Ways and Means and Budget Committees as he fights to rein in federal spending, stop Washington’s addiction to debt, and protect the American Dream for the next generation.

Supporting Small Businesses and Utah's Economy

Blake Moore is committed to supporting the small businesses that drive job growth and opportunity across our state. His assignment to the House Ways and Means Committee gives him the unique ability to champion legislation that strengthens Utah’s economy. For example, his Small Business Growth Act was included in a bipartisan, bicameral tax framework and will help business owners purchase the equipment they need to grow and compete.

The bill increases the Section 179 deduction cap to $1.29 million, allowing small businesses to fully deduct the cost of essential equipment, including farming tools, machinery, commercial vehicles, manufacturing equipment, and office purchases. These savings help business owners invest in their workforce, raise wages, and keep Utah’s economy strong.

Protecting Utah's Outdoor Heritage

Blake Moore is protecting Utah’s outdoor heritage by expanding access to the lands and waters families enjoy. He reintroduced the bipartisan Range Access Act to increase the availability of free public shooting ranges on federal lands, helped pass the MAPLand Act to digitize public land access records, and introduced the MAPWaters Act to modernize mapping for federal waterways for hunters, anglers, and families to have clearer access to Utah’s trails, waters, and recreation areas. Blake also joined state leaders, researchers, and philanthropists in signing the Great Salt Lake 2034 Charter, building on the fifty-million-dollar federal investment he helped secure to support long-term conservation and restoration of the lake for future generations.

Bringing Your Tax Dollars Back to Utah

Blake Moore is working on the House Ways and Means Committee to keep taxes low and ensure Utah families get real value for the dollars they send to Washington. He helped secure major tax provisions that make the Trump tax cuts permanent, expand the Child Tax Credit, strengthen the adoption tax credit, and increase HSA contribution limits so families can better manage health care costs. Blake championed expanding Section 179 to help small businesses grow, created investment accounts for young children to promote savings and opportunity, reinstated a charitable deduction for Utahns who tithe or give, and passed tax relief for servicemembers in hazardous duty zones. He also fought to repeal the burdensome 1099-K rule that penalized gig workers, students, and small online sellers. Blake will continue pushing for pro-growth policies that help Utah families, workers, and businesses thrive.

Keeping America Safe in a Dangerous World

Blake Moore is leading efforts to reshore critical supply chains and strengthen America’s military readiness to counter the Chinese Communist Party and keep Americans safe. He reintroduced bipartisan legislation to bring printed circuit board manufacturing back to the United States so the advanced electronics that power our fighter jets, ships, vehicles, and defense systems are made here at home, not in foreign markets dominated by China. Blake is focused on supporting U.S. companies developing critical technologies, energy and mining products, and life-saving medical innovations so our nation can weather any crisis. He is also proud to stand with Israel and has supported multiple initiatives to help Israel defend itself against Hamas’s terrorist attacks.

Blake will continue championing policies that put American security, American workers, and American strength first.

Keeping American Companies American-Owned

Blake Moore is working to keep America’s economy strong by championing policies that protect free enterprise, support American workers, and keep businesses here at home. He introduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen Employee Stock Ownership Plans so business owners can transition to employee ownership instead of selling to foreign buyers. This helps keep American companies American-owned, strengthens supply chain resiliency, and gives workers the chance to build real retirement wealth. Blake is committed to promoting economic freedom, expanding ownership opportunities for working families, and preventing the offshoring of American jobs and industries.

• Fiscal discipline and lower spending
• Second Amendment rights
• Healthcare transparency
• Accountability for Big Tech
• Lowering costs for families
• Answers surrounding the Afghanistan withdrawal

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Born and raised in Ogden, I learned responsibility, hard work, and how to rebound from my dad, and all about optimism and service from my mom.

I began my career by serving our country in various civilian roles, most notably as a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State. This service first took me to Washington DC, then as an independent consultant in Southeast Asia, and eventually back to Washington. Through my training and my time in federal service, I was able to serve alongside all branches of our military and obtain the patriotism my father, who served in the Army National Guard, says can only come through service.

Today, I'm a Principal with the Cicero Group, a Utah-based management consulting firm with offices in Washington DC and Dallas. My primary role sits within the social impact practice area, which focuses on solving complex problems for non-profit and purpose-driven organizations. I also lead data collection and change management projects in the healthcare, higher education, marketing, waste, and transportation industries.

I'm running for Congress because I am concerned about the lack of conservative leadership for the next generation of Americans. I am uniquely positioned to best represent the people and values that got this state and country to where we are today, and I am committed to ensuring these conservative values remain present and have a strong future in our na
