Blake Moore

Utah's 1st congressional district

UT-1 Midterms Intelligence

Blake Moore sits in one of the safest Republican seats in the Mountain West, a fast-growing, young northern Utah district where ideological conservatism coexists with suburban professional-class affluence. The fundamentals are clear: UT-01 is R+33, with median household income at $93,425 and homeownership at 70.1%, giving Moore ample room to run as a fiscally disciplined, business-friendly conservative rather than a bomb-thrower. His committee perch on Budget and Ways and Means fits the district’s profile: tax sensitivity, growth politics, and a preference for competence over spectacle.

For advocates, this is a persuasion target on economics and land-use, not partisan conversion. Messages that tie tax policy, public lands, and infrastructure to family affordability and employer certainty will travel best, especially in a district with a median age of 31.9 and rising cost pressure despite broad prosperity. The strategic opening is that Moore can reward pragmatic, locally grounded asks; culture-war framing is mostly wasted here, but a case built around stewardship, growth management, and protecting Utah’s economic edge can get real traction.

Representative Blake Moore represents Utah's 1st congressional district, serving 846,210 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $93,425 and an unemployment rate of 2.9%.
