Benjamin Michael McAdams (born December 5, 1974) is an American politician and attorney who served as the U.S. representative from Utah's 4th congressional district from 2019 to 2021. He was the only Democratic member of Utah's congressional delegation, and a member of the Blue Dog Coalition. From 2013 to 2019, he served as mayor of Salt Lake County, and from 2009 to 2012, he was the Utah state senator from the 2nd district, which includes Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, and a portion of West Valley.[1] McAdams was elected to Congress in 2018, narrowly defeating two-term Republican incumbent Mia Love.[2][3] In 2020, McAdams ran for reelection, but he lost to Republican challenger Burgess Owens.[4] He is the last Democrat to represent Utah in Congress.
