It was gerrymandered by the Republican controlled Legislature after Matheson won his first seat. I think they took away the stronger democratic supporting mining areas, Carbon and Emery counties, and replaced it with rural areas from Southern Utah. Cannon now has Emery and Carbon counties. However, it failed and Matheson continues to win.
