前美国众议员本·麦克亚当斯周二赢得犹他州新设立的第一国会选区民主党提名,在一场激烈的四党初选中胜出,该初选成为2026年选举周期该州耗资最高的国会竞选之一。
麦克亚当斯击败犹他州州参议员内特·布卢因、迈克尔·法雷尔和前大型科技公司员工利班·穆罕默德,晋级11月的大选。
这位前众议员接下来将在大选中对阵共和党候选人莱利·欧文,这场竞选预计将成为犹他州最受关注的国会选区角逐之一。

此次民主党初选吸引了大量捐赠者和外部政治团体的关注,凸显了该选区在争夺众议院控制权斗争中的重要性。根据竞选财务申报文件,候选人和外部组织为这场竞选花费了约460万美元。
麦克亚当斯在整个竞选过程中拥有显著的筹款优势。
他筹集了约190万美元,超过了三名民主党对手的筹款总额。外部团体也大力投入支持他的参选,因为全国民主党将该选区视为在犹他州拿下国会席位的最佳机会。

这场竞选还因高调的背书而受到关注。州议员布卢因得到了包括佛蒙特州独立参议员伯尼·桑德斯在内的进步派人士的支持,而麦克亚当斯则强调自己作为中间派民主党人的履历,他曾在传统上属于共和党州的竞争选区中获胜。
麦克亚当斯曾于2019年至2021年代表犹他州第四国会选区,是近几十年来少数几位当选国会议员的犹他州民主党人之一。他在2020年的连任竞选中以微弱劣势落败。
新设立的第一国会选区是在犹他州国会选区边界多年诉讼后产生的。一项法院裁决推翻了州议会此前的国会选区地图,促成了这个以盐湖城为基础、倾向民主党的选区的设立。此前地图的批评者认为,该地图将盐湖城地区划分为多个选区,削弱了该县居民的投票力量。

重新划定的边界重塑了犹他州的国会选区格局,在这个长期由共和党主导的州创造了一个罕见的竞争选区。

Former U.S. Rep. Ben McAdams won the Democratic nomination for Utah’s newly created 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, prevailing in a competitive four-way primary that became one of the state’s most expensive congressional contests of the 2026 election cycle.
McAdams defeated Utah state Sen. Nate Blouin, Michael Farrell and former big tech worker Liban Mohamed to advance to the general election in November.
The former congressman will now face Republican nominee Riley Owen in a race expected to be among Utah’s most closely watched congressional contests.

The Democratic primary attracted significant attention from donors and outside political groups, underscoring the district’s importance in the battle for control the lower Congressional chamber. According to campaign finance filings, candidates and outside organizations spent approximately $4.6 million on the race.
McAdams held a substantial fundraising advantage throughout the campaign.
He raised roughly $1.9 million, exceeding the combined fundraising total of his three Democratic opponents. Outside groups also invested heavily in support of his candidacy as national Democrats viewed the district as their strongest opportunity to gain a congressional seat in Utah.

The race also drew attention because of high-profile endorsements. Blouin, a state lawmaker, received backing from progressive figures including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., while McAdams emphasized his record as a centrist Democrat who has won competitive races in a traditionally Republican state.
McAdams previously represented Utah’s 4th Congressional District from 2019 to 2021, becoming one of the few Democrats elected to Congress from Utah in recent decades. He narrowly lost his reelection bid in 2020.
The newly created 1st District comes after years of litigation over Utah’s congressional boundaries. A court ruling struck down the legislature’s previous congressional map, leading to the creation of a Salt Lake City-based district that leans Democratic. Critics of the earlier map had argued that it diluted the voting strength of Salt Lake County residents by dividing the area among multiple districts.

The revised boundaries have reshaped Utah’s congressional landscape and created a rare competitive district in a state that has long been dominated by Republicans.
