Utah's Daily Policy Resource, Brought to you by Utah Policy
Good Wednesday morning from Salt Lake City. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration with your loved ones.
Most Utahns support a ballot initiative to have the state accept full Medicaid expansion. Utah Republicans' frustration with Sen. Orrin Hatch is boiling over. Love vs. McAdams is quickly becoming one of the biggest races to watch in 2018.
A new UtahPolicy.com survey finds that nearly 6 in 10 Utahns support a proposed ballot initiative that would have the state accept full Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act [Utah Policy].

While that may be nothing more than frustration with Hatch's "will he, won't he" game, Herbert's speculation demonstrates that there's a possibility that Hatch could face a serious challenge next year [Utah Policy].
We already knew Democrat Ben McAdams was going to give Republican Mia Love a run for her money in 2018, but the race in Utah's 4th CD is quickly shaping up as one of the most important House races next year [Utah Policy].
