The district covers all or part of Juab, Millard, Sanpete, Sevier, Tooele, Salt Lake and Utah counties.
Steven Burt is an attorney who previously worked as an executive and in-house counsel for solar energy companies, according to the Salt Lake Tribune's candidate survey. He is running without a party label.[1]
In his survey answers, Burt says addressing corruption is among his highest priorities and that he has not accepted corporate or PAC money. He wants to end congressional stock trading, donations tied to government contracts and the selling of pardons. On affordability he lists ending the war in Iran, zoning reform, expanded housing programs, limits on tariffs and a balanced budget. On water he calls for a new plan for the Central Utah Project and more water for the Great Salt Lake. He also supports stronger federal regulation of artificial intelligence. He opposes both Amendment A and Amendment B.[1]
These are the candidate's own survey answers as printed by the Tribune, not checked by The Utah Ledger.[1]
Profile sources
Profile refreshed October 30, 2026. Candidate statements describe the candidate's own experience or positions; official records and reporting are labeled separately.
I was born and raised in District 4 (South Jordan), where I live with my family today. I am the only candidate who lives in District 4. I am an attorney with nearly 20 years of experience and a practice that includes significant pro bono service and ten years working on clean energy policy.
I am running unaffiliated because too many Utahns feel poorly represented by a political system that puts party interests ahead of solving problems. I believe our representative should answer to the people of Utah’s 4th Congressional District, not a political party.
My priorities include making life more affordable by prioritizing tax relief for ordinary Americans and restoring Congress’s constitutional role as the People's voice; pursuing practical immigration reform that secures the border, focuses enforcement on dangerous criminals, and respects human dignity; advancing common-sense energy policies that support economic growth; and rooting out corruption in the federal government.
Government works best when it respects constitutional principles including individual liberty, federalism, separation of powers, limited government, and the rule of law.
Democrat Jonny Larsen, Libertarian Taylor Wright and unaffiliated candidate Steven Burt answered questions on affordability and water, and Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy did not respond.
