[constituency_baseline] District summary: Utah's 3rd Congressional District encompasses the eastern and southern portions of the state, stretching from the populous Utah County along the Wasatch Front (including the cities of Provo, Orem, and Alpine) through vast rural counties including Carbon, Duchesne, Emery, Grand, San Juan, and Uintah. Home to approximately 821,200 constituents, the district is overwhelmingly White (77.5% non-Hispanic, 636K), with a significant Hispanic minority (12.7%, 104K). The median household income is $94,670 — more than double the national median — with a median age of 30.6 (significantly younger than the 38.5 national average, driven by the large student and young-family population around Brigham Young University). The poverty rate is 6.2-9.71%, homeownership is 67.8%, 44.3% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher — well above the national average — and only 8.46% of residents are foreign-born. The district encompasses the Uinta Basin's oil and gas fields, five national parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion), and contains the largest active coal mine in Utah. The district has a Cook PVI of R+33, making it among the most Republican districts in the nation. Kennedy won the 2024 open-seat general election with 66.4% of the vote, succeeding Rep. John Curtis who was elected to the U.S. Senate.

Voted yea on H.Res. 189 (Censuring Representative Al Green of Texas (March 2025)) on 2025-03-06: Kennedy voted yea with all Republicans and 10 Democrats to censure Rep. Al Green for disrupting Trump's address to Congress. Kennedy had earlier asked university police to remove disruptive individuals from his own town hall in Salt Lake City just two weeks later. His yea on this partisan disciplinary measure was a party-line vote with no distinct constituency dimension.

Voted yea on H.R. 9745 (Government Funding Continuing Resolution — November 2025 Shutdown Deal) on 2025-11-10: Kennedy voted yea to end the 43-day government shutdown while simultaneously introducing the No Government Till We Get It Right Act (H.R. 9749) to bar members of Congress from being paid during shutdowns. He called the shutdown a 'terrible weapon' that 'should never have happened.' Kennedy expressed support for continuing SNAP payments during the shutdown after federal judges ordered the Trump administration to do so, calling it a 'temporary fix.' His vote reflects a pragmatic governing-wing posture — supporting stopgap funding while posturing fiscally via messaging bills.

Voted nay on H.R. 2310 (Protect Children's Health Act (Federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors)) on 2025-12-18: Kennedy voted AGAINST a federal felony ban on gender-affirming surgeries and procedures for transgender minors — breaking with most House Republicans. This is the exact opposite of his position as sponsor of Utah's SB 16, which banned those procedures at the state level. Kennedy explained his federalism-based rationale on talk radio. The vote represents a rare same-policy-question reversal (state ban yes, federal ban no) and positioned him as one of the few GOP members to break with the party on transgender healthcare legislation — a position that could create vulnerability in his R+33 district among socially conservative primary voters.

Voted opposed_as_candidate on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (as candidate)) on 2024-06-12: During the 2024 Republican primary debate, Kennedy stated he was opposed to additional U.S. aid to Ukraine, saying 'we have to reduce federal spending.' Of the five Republican candidates for the UT-03 seat, Kennedy was among those who opposed continued funding — breaking from his predecessor John Curtis, who consistently voted for Ukraine aid. Kennedy's opposition to Ukraine funding places him in the Trump/MAGA isolationist wing of the Republican Party, in contrast to Curtis's Reaganite internationalism. This primary positioning previewed his early congressional votes on foreign aid.

Voted yea on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act (119th Congress, January 7, 2025)) on 2025-01-07: Kennedy voted yea on mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants accused of nonviolent crimes including shoplifting. This was one of the first bills of his freshman term; he called it a measure that would 'strengthen enforcement and protect communities from violent offenders' and listed it prominently on his campaign website. His UT-03 district is 95.1% U.S. citizen and only 8.46% foreign-born — making this a politically safe hardline immigration vote with limited local impact. All 217 House Republicans present voted yea. The vote passed 263-156 with 46 Democratic defections.

Voted nay on H.Con.Res. 35 (Iran War Powers Resolution — March 5, 2026) on 2026-03-05: Kennedy voted nay on a bipartisan resolution to terminate unauthorized U.S. military operations in Iran, joining 218 other Republicans in defeating it 219-212 — but his position was nuanced. In a March 2 KSL interview, he stated he supports Trump's Iran strikes but urged congressional oversight to avoid a 'long-term protracted' conflict, citing lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan. He said 'If we're going to declare a war, Congress should do that.' Kennedy subsequently supported Trump's approach while simultaneously calling for congressional involvement — attempting to straddle support for the president and constitutional war-powers restraint.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — House final passage) on 2025-07-03: Kennedy voted yea on legislation the CBO projected would add $3.4 trillion to deficits and cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. As a family physician, his vote for massive Medicaid cuts directly contradicts his professional oath to 'do no harm' — a contradiction that drew condemnation from fellow Utah physicians. Only 2 House Republicans voted nay. The CWA gave him a 0% score for 2025, specifically citing this bill as 'deep and damaging cuts to vital programs like Medicaid' that 'undermine the economic security of working families.' The SBA Pro-Life America scorecard praised him for defunding Planned Parenthood through this vote. His UT-03 district has 6.2-9.7% poverty and thousands depending on Medicaid.

[vote] In December 2025, Kennedy broke with most House Republicans and voted AGAINST the federal Protect Children's Health Act (H.R. 2310), which would have made it a felony for doctors to perform gender-affirming surgeries and procedures on minors. Kennedy explained his vote on talk radio, arguing the federal government should not override state decisions on medical regulation — a position that places him at odds with the Utah state law he himself sponsored.

[vote] Kennedy voted yea on the OBBBA (H.R. 1), which the Congressional Budget Office projected would cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid over ten years and cause 10-12 million Americans to lose health coverage. He also opposes extending ACA enhanced subsidies — calling them 'too expensive' — which analysts warn will cause premiums to rise and coverage to vanish for families dependent on the exchanges. A Utah constituent letter noted: 'When the harm is quieter and politically inconvenient — when it is the cancer found too late, the insulin rationed, the medical bankruptcy that didn't have to happen — his oath suddenly falls silent.'
