AuH2ORepublican said “the UT-02 represented by Matheson included part of SLC, but also a whole slew of rural counties.”

while PapaBear3625 said “Mormons now make up about 34%–41% of Salt Lake City,[9] while rural areas tend to be overwhelmingly Mormon.”

so it was the Mormons in the rural areas who elected the Democrat Matheson and kept reelecting him for 5 more terms...

Interesting eh what ???

Population of Utah: 2,900,872

Population of Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area: 1,175,905

In terms of population (and voting) the SLC Metro area is a big factor in Utah politics, much like NYC is in NY.

Adding to my post #121, Utah’s district 2 contains Salt Lake City, making it the least Republican of Utah’s 3 districts, probably due to all the immigrants and other Dem voters in SLC.
