The district sounds liberal, if Utah is normally conservative, and Love was conservative (I assume, I don’t know about the race or the district), and you point out that the district is more libertarian, then that means that they are to the left of Love and lean more to the democrats on social issues and the border.

He presents an interesting challenge to the folks in the legislature, as pointed out by another poster there are a lot of liberals in Salt Lake City. What they have been trying to do in the past is to put as many libs in his district as possible to avoid unpleasant surprises in the other districts. It seems they have decided to sacrifice one district to the Dims to keep the others solid GOP.

BTW Matheson is probably more conservative than many of the West and East coast RINO’s...
