Bishop Hails New 4th Congressional District in Utah

Washington, Dec 21 -

Today the U.S. Census Bureau announced that the State of Utah will receive a 4^th Congressional seat in 2012.  After receiving confirmation that a new Congressional District will be added to the Utah delegation, Congressman Rob Bishop (UT-01) issued the following statement:

“I am pleased that Utahns will have greater representation in Congress.  This is something that should have occurred ten years ago and I still believe that the process should be improved to include a more accurate count. 

“Anytime you can give a greater voice to the people of Utah and an additional seat at the table in Washington, it’s a good thing.   Having worked on redistricting while I was in the State Legislature, I know first-hand some of the challenges that lie ahead.”
