Gov. Cox: Ignoring voters on redistricting led to GOP’s big Utah Legislature loss
(Scott G. Winterton | Deseret News | Pool) Gov. Spencer J. Cox takes part in the PBS Utah Governor’s Monthly News Conference, broadcast from the Eccles Broadcast Center, at the University of Utah on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026.
Before opening the floor for questions from reporters Monday at a news conference aired on PBS Utah nearly one week after Election Day, GOP Gov. Spencer Cox began with the obvious.
“Republicans suffered an historic defeat across the country, and while many of us expected a difficult election nationally,” Cox said, “I don’t think anyone, myself included, anticipated the extent to which that wave would reach and impact Utah, particularly in our state legislative races.”
Utah House Democrats' wins come with mixed feelings over loss of some moderate Republicans
SALT LAKE CITY — After polls closed on election night, Ofa Matagi wasn't able to join her fellow candidates at Utah Democrats' watch party. Instead, she was at home with family under strict doctor's orders to rest.
She was caring for a days-old newborn baby boy, whose birth she was still recovering from. He had been born just the week before.
Leading up to Election Day, Matagi had been knocking door to door in House District 43 neighborhoods — which includes parts of Sandy, Midvale and Cottonwood Heights — while "heavily pregnant," she said.
Matagi wasn't glued to the screen while waiting for results to post. Instead, to help ease her anxiety, she decided to wait and see what kinds of texts she'd start receiving from her friends. She figured she would get one of two types of text messages: either some that said, "You did a great job, but better luck next time" or more congratulatory ones. The latter, she thought, seemed like "a long shot."

Gov. Cox says Utah Republicans must rebuild voter trust after major midterm losses
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Monday that Republicans must take a hard look at their policies and leadership following significant Democratic gains in the 2026 midterm elections, warning that voters have sent a clear message to elected officials who have failed to listen to their concerns.
During his monthly news conference, Cox described the election results as a rejection of the Republican Party, both nationally and in Utah.
“The state of the Republican Party nationwide, and it’s not great,” Cox said.
He acknowledged that he underestimated the extent of the Democratic gains in Utah, particularly in state legislative races.
