11 Utah Legislative Races to Watch on Election Day


House District 31 – Sophia DiCaro (R) vs. Elizabeth Weight (D)

Partisan makeup:

Republican – 24.5%

Democrat – 16.4%

Even though DiCaro is considered to be a rising star in Republican circles, she could be in trouble here. The district is hardly a Republican stronghold. Democrat Larry Wiley held the seat until DiCaro beat him in 2012.

Democrat Elizabeth Weight has raised $22,000 so far, which is a good amount for a Democrat. However, DiCaro has pulled in more than double that.

Since 59% of the registered voters in the district are neither Republican or Democrat, turnout will ultimately decide who carries this swing district.
