Rep. Mike Kennedy won reelection to the U.S. House in Utah's 4th Congressional District, the Associated Press reported Nov. 5.

Kennedy, a Republican, defeated Democratic challenger Jonny Larsen in a race shaped by court-ordered redistricting that reshaped all four of Utah's congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms. Unofficial results from the Salt Lake Tribune's live results page showed Kennedy with 107,278 votes, about 53%, to Larsen's 80,272 votes, about 40%. Unaffiliated candidate Steven Burt received about 4% and Libertarian Taylor Wright about 3%.

The results are unofficial and have not been certified.

Kennedy, a physician and attorney, was seeking a second term in Congress after first winning election in 2024. He originally represented the 3rd Congressional District but ran in the redrawn 4th District after a state judge approved new congressional boundaries in November 2025, KUTV reported. The legal battle centered on Utah's previous maps, which had divided Salt Lake County among all four congressional districts.

Before serving in Washington, Kennedy spent a decade in the Utah Legislature, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. He served as a Utah state senator from 2021 to 2025 and as a member of the Utah House of Representatives between 2013 and 2019, according to ABC4.

Kennedy released a statement after the win, thanking supporters and his wife, Katrina. He said he is "determined to meet the challenges of the next two years head on" and pledged to "work with others when I can, stand firm when it counts, and never stop fighting for the people of Utah."

Larsen, a Marine veteran who served as an infantry rifleman from 2000 to 2004, described himself as a "blue dog Democrat," according to ABC4. He and Kennedy clashed in an Oct. 8 debate at Snow College in Ephraim over the Iran war, affordability and public lands, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Kennedy's win was one of four congressional races decided across Utah. The Deseret News reported that Democrat Ben McAdams won the newly drawn 1st Congressional District, while Republican Rep. Celeste Maloy won reelection in the 3rd District. Rep. Blake Moore, in the 2nd District, led by less than a 6-point margin.

Utah's new delegation will navigate a divided government, with a Democratic majority in the House seeking to check the Trump administration, the Deseret News reported.

All results remain unofficial as election workers complete the count and officials prepare to certify them.
