Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams (D) defeated incumbent Mia Love (R) in the general election on November 6, 2018, to represent Utah's 4th Congressional District.

All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election in 2018. The Democratic Party gained a net total of 40 seats, winning control of the chamber. This race was identified as a 2018 battleground that might have affected partisan control of the U.S. House in the 116th Congress. Heading into the election, the Republican Party was in the majority holding 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven vacant seats. Democrats needed to win 23 GOP-held seats in 2018 to win control of the House. From 1918 to 2016, the president’s party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections.

Love was first elected to the district in 2014, succeeding Jim Matheson (D), who was the first representative elected from the district after its creation following the 2010 census. In the 2016 election, Love was re-elected by a margin of 13 percentage points while Donald Trump (R) carried the district by a margin of 7 percentage points.

You will not be a burden to society. You will give back."[3] Love said that she was running to preserve those values, saying that Congress "has run up trillion dollar deficits, made promises it cannot keep, and failed to balance the budget."[4]
  • Love said that she has an extensive record of accomplishments in public service, pointing to the town of Saratoga Springs' growth while she was mayor. Love also pointed to bills she introduced in previous sessions of Congress to encourage small banks to issue loans, allow the state of Utah to acquire certain parcels of federal land for educational purposes, and prevent taxpayer funds from being used to pay settlements to those accusing members of Congress of sexual misconduct.[4][5]

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[18]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[19][20][21]

District analysis

See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+13, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 13 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Utah's 4th Congressional District the 97th most Republican nationally.[22]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 0.97. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 0.97 points toward that party.[23]

Noteworthy events

Paul Ryan fundraiser

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R) held a fundraiser on behalf of Rep. Mia Love (R) on June 12, 2018. In a statement, Ryan said that he was "proud to support [Love] and know that she'll continue to be a champion for her district in Congress."[26]

Request for redesignation of funds

On August 6, 2018, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) sent a letter to the Mia Love (R) campaign calling for the refund or redesignation of funds the campaign had collected for its 2018 primary. Under federal law, campaign contributions must be designated as either for a primary or a general election. Contributions from a donor to a candidate's primary election campaign do not count towards the general election contribution limit and vice versa. However, a candidate may not legally collect primary election contributions if they are unopposed in their party's primary.

In the August letter, the FEC said that the Love campaign was not authorized to collect primary donations since she had not appeared in a contested primary. It called on the campaign to redesignate or refund all such contributions within 60 days. A contribution may only be redesignated with the original donor's approval and only if the newly-designated contribution does not cause the campaign to have exceeded its per-donor contribution limit for the general election.

In a September 6 response, the Love campaign stated that it would seek to return or redesignate all contributions collected for the primary election between the April 21 Republican Party of Utah convention and the June 26 primary. The campaign stated that it would not be seeking to return or redesignate contributions collected before April 21, citing an April 2016 decision in which the FEC ruled that Sen. Mike Lee (R) was permitted to retain all contributions designated for his unopposed primary election that were collected before the Republican Party of Utah's convention. The decision was made on the basis that the state's dual-track nomination process, in which a candidate may appear on the ballot either via collecting signatures or by receiving the votes of delegates at a state party convention, meant that Lee did not know with certainty that he would not face a primary challenger until the convention. The Love campaign said that a primary election candidate would have had until April 7 to file signatures with the Lieutenant Governor of Utah and that those signatures could have been approved as late as April 20, meaning that Love did not know until the day of the convention whether she would face a primary challenge. Love spokeswoman Sasha Clark said that nearly $370,000 in funds were marked for redesignation and that the total amount refunded could be less than $10,000.

The McAdams campaign called on the FEC to require the return or redesignation of all the contributions mentioned in its August letter, stating that since no challengers filed ahead of the March 15 deadline for consideration at the state party convention, Love would have known after that date that she would not face a contested primary.[27][28][29]

Campaign themes

Republican Party Mia Love

Love's campaign website stated the following:

“

Education
As a mother with three children enrolled in public schools, quality education is extremely important to Mia. Mia believes in a strong educational system that will allow America to continue in its role as the world’s premier leader in scientific research and technological development. She supports a system that prepares students for the workplace. Mia has worked hard to push for reforms that bring about necessary changes.

Utah families want better quality education, lower costs, and more local control over decisions related to education. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Education has expanded the federal role in education to unprecedented levels, to the detriment of our children and college students. Utah—not the federal government—knows what is best for Utah’s students. Mia trusts Utah teachers and Utah parents over Washington bureaucrats.

While in Congress, Mia has kept her promises to Utah’s 4th District by taking the following actions:

  • Co-introduced the Student Right to Know Before You Go Act, which would provide prospective college students with crucial information regarding outcomes at each college, allowing them to make decisions informed by data
  • Introduced the Flexibility to Innovate for College Affordability Act, which would provide regulatory relief and flexibility to universities, helping them to reduce the costs of college education
  • Introduced the Enhancing Opportunities for Medical Doctors Act of 2016, which would promote training in cutting-edge medical specialties
  • Cosponsored the Local Control of Education Act, which would prohibit the federal government from mandating a school’s adoption of Common Core State Standards
  • Worked with fellow members of the Congressional Career and Technical Education Caucus to ensure education systems prepare students for the workplace
  • Introduced the Funding Local Schools Act, a bill that would help to bring additional funding to Utah’s schools.

Mia has pledged to continue to work hard for your children’s future.

Healthcare
Mia believes that Utahns should have access to high quality, affordable health care options that best meet their needs. She has met with hundreds of Utah individuals and families and has seen the damaging effects Obamacare has had on hardworking Utah families. It drives up premiums and deductible costs, reduces options, stifles innovation, and fosters fraud. Mia believes a better system is possible.

That is why she has repeatedly voted to repeal Obamacare and its most damaging provisions. Mia believes in a shift towards patient-centered reforms that expand coverage while reducing costs. And she pledges to continue to fight for better options.

While in Congress, Mia has already:

  • Repeatedly voted to repeal Obamacare
  • Cosponsored and supported House-passed legislation to repeal the medical device tax, which would hurt a major Utah industry and stifle medical innovation
  • Opposed the “Cadillac Tax” on health insurance plans
  • Introduced the Enhancing Opportunities for Medical Doctors Act, which helps to address the shortage of doctors in Utah
  • Fought proposals to cut Medicare reimbursement rates

National Security
Nothing Mia does is more important than ensuring the safety of American citizens. She takes her Constitutional duty to “provide for the common defense” seriously, and has put her beliefs into action while in Congress. As global instability has increased and new threats have emerged, it has become even more important to maintain the most robust military in the world.

Because our men and women in uniform are asked to protect us from increasingly sophisticated threats, it’s important to provide them with the equipment and resources they need to keep their America safe. It’s also important that they know that their country will provide for their families and personal needs.

Mia has worked hard to ensure that the country counters extremists across the world, works to promote freedom, and modernizes its military to deter all threats in the 21st Century.

While in Congress, she has:

  • Strongly opposed the final version of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, better known as the Iran Deal, which legitimizes Iran’s nuclear program and jeopardizes safety for the sake of a President’s legacy
  • Supported tightened sanctions on organizations that support and encourage terrorism
  • Supported efforts to combat terrorism and cyber-attacks
  • Worked to strengthen US support of and partnership with Israel
  • Voted in favor of defense appropriations and funding bills that modernize the military and provide pay raises and personal care to troops and their families
  • Opposed efforts to transfer resources from the Utah National Guard
  • Led efforts to hold international organizations accountable
  • Worked to bring Utahans trapped abroad back home

D.C. Dysfunction
After spending the past two years fighting to bring Utah values to our nation’s capital, Mia fully understands how dysfunctional our federal government has become. This dysfunction is the result of both behavioral and systematic flaws that she will continue working to address. Here are just a few of the actions she has already taken to ensure the federal government works for, and is accountable to, all Utahns:

  • Mia has routinely worked across the isle to advance legislative priorities. She believes that we are stronger as a nation when two or more people talk about what they’re for, instead of what they’re against. As the only Republican member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Mia knows from experience that common ground can be found on almost any issue. That’s why she has worked with her Democratic colleagues on issues like poverty, criminal justice reform, education, veterans, and immigration. And it’s why dozens of her friends from across the isle have cosponsored bills that she has introduced
  • Mia has introduced the One Subject at a Time Act, a common-sense bill that would prohibit lawmakers from adding unrelated provisions and bills to host legislation. This would promote fiscal responsibility, greater transparency, and improved accountability
  • Mia is one of ten members of the Article I Project, which seeks to reclaim Congress’ power of the purse, prevent last-minute legislative cliffs, and reassert authority over regulation
  • Mia cosponsored the Biennial Budgeting and Enhanced Oversight Act of 2016, which seeks to fix our broken budgeting process and end crisis-driven budgeting
  • Mia has cosponsored balanced budget amendments
  • Mia has voted to deny Members of Congress, including herself, a pay raise.

Mia is proud of the work that she has done so far to get Washington back on track. Getting the federal government to work for the people will require both behavioral changes from politicians and systematic changes to the way things are done, but Mia is committed to push for those changes and to continue bringing Utah values to Washington.

Taxes
Utahns and local businesses deserve to keep their hard-earned money and use it as they please. Tax rates on both individuals and businesses are too high, discouraging investment and endangering the American dream. Americans not only pay a myriad of visible taxes, but also pay hidden taxes imposed upon them through burdensome regulations. In fact, dozens of “major” rules and regulations, each costing the economy more than $100 million, are added each year with little or no transparency. Moreover, the federal tax code is too cumbersome and complex to navigate, and the costs of complying with filing requirements are paid in both time and money. Simply put, the country’s tax system is a mess.

That’s why Mia will continue to work hard to simplify our nation’s tax code and reduce tax rates on families and businesses. She has a proven record of opposing tax increases and working to right-size the regulatory state. She will fight for real reforms until Utahns receive the relief they deserve.

Jobs & the Economy
Prior to serving in Congress, Mia used her term as mayor of Saratoga Springs to create a pro-growth environment. Today, she continues to work hard to advance policies that support an economy that provides opportunities for everyone. She fights to ensure all families have quality employment opportunities. She fights for fewer, lower, and simpler taxes for all. And she regularly supports legislation that allows Utah’s small businesses to thrive. So far, she has:

  • Introduced and passed legislation to expand access to credit from community banks for middle-class families and small business owners
  • Cosponsored the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act, which passed the House. This legislation would require new executive branch rules and regulations with economic impacts of $100 million or more to come before Congress for an up or down vote
  • Cosponsored the Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Improvements Act, which passed the House and compels bureaucratic agencies to assess the impact of their actions on small businesses. This is something that Utah already does and is just another way she is trying to bring Utah values to Washington
  • Voted to repeal the medical device tax, which does significant harm to an important Utah industry
  • Voted to support programs that incentivize work and help low-income families escape poverty
  • Routinely supported legislation that promotes upward mobility for individuals and removes barriers for businesses

Because of her consistent record, Mia has earned the support of Utah’s business community and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Spirit of Enterprise Award. She pledges to continue working to make sure the economy produces more jobs that pay higher wages.

Veterans
No one is a stronger supporter of our nation’s military veterans than Mia Love. These men and women have voluntarily risked their lives defending freedom, courageously serving in our nation’s many wars and conflicts across the world. They are heroes who have consistently and willingly answered the many calls issued to them, and Mia believes in honoring their sacrifice.

President Coolidge famously said, “The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.” Mia believes in keeping the promises made to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. That is why she will always fight on behalf of our veterans. During the 114th Congress alone, Mia has sponsored or cosponsored more than 18 bills to benefit veterans and their generous families. She introduced one of these bills, the Fair Treatment for Families of Veterans Act, after learning about a constituent’s challenges with the VA. And Mia pledges to continue working to ensure veterans receive the benefits they’ve been promised and the timely, quality medical treatment that they deserve.

Second Amendment
Americans have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This right, acknowledged in and guaranteed by the Second Amendment, is essential for the preservation of liberty. It guarantees all other rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Furthermore, it allows Americans to protect their families, their homes, and their own lives. As a concealed carry permit holder and gun owner, Mia understands the importance of responsible gun ownership. Therefore, she will continue to firmly oppose efforts to further restrict our Second Amendment rights just as she had done during the 114th Congress.

The following represent some of the actions Mia has already taken to protect the Second Amendment rights of American citizens:

  • Cosponsored the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which permits authorized concealed carry permit holders to carry concealed firearms into other states that permit concealed carry
  • Cosponsored the Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act, which removes the authority of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) to interpret clauses in federal law in an attempt to undermine the purpose of the Second Amendment
  • Cosponsored the Enhancing Safety at Military Installations Act, which would ultimately allow trained military personnel to carry firearms and defend themselves on military bases
  • Consistently supported the rights of sportsmen to hunt and participate in responsible recreational activities

Energy Independence
Abundant, affordable energy is key to a healthy, dynamic economy. The nation is blessed with both bountiful resources and innovative technologies that have allowed people to become more energy independent than ever. However, more can be done to support an all-of-the-above energy strategy and ultimately secure energy independence.

Mia has worked hard in Congress to advance legislation that fosters innovation, creates jobs, and allows for leadership in energy development of every kind. So far, she has:

  • Opposed burdensome regulations that stifle growth, discourage innovation, and attempt to dictate what sources of energy are preferred by federal bureaucrats
  • Supported the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act in order to increase private investment and public-private partnerships which will ultimately lead to safer and cheaper access to improved nuclear technology
  • Cosponsored the Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act, which promotes renewable energy development on public lands and ensures that local communities benefit from such development
  • Cosponsored the Master Limited Partnerships Parity Act, which would provide investors in renewable energy projects the same access to corporate structures and tax advantages that are now afforded to fossil fuel development projects
  • Supported construction of the Keystone XL pipeline
  • Supported efforts to lift a 40 year old ban on oil exports, helping the nation to become a net energy exporter in the coming years

Mia is so proud of the work that she has done so far, and pledges to continue to support and promote solutions that will secure a bright and sustainable energy future in coming years.

Public Lands
Utahns are fortunate to live in a beautiful state. Mia loves being outside and in the mountains, where she can appreciate Utah’s landscapes. As a runner, Mia appreciates the desire to recreate on these lands and the desire to preserve them for future generations.

Mia favors a balanced, multi-use approach to land management. Some land should be available for recreation, fishing, hunting, and grazing. Other land should be protected differently. Ultimately, she believes land management policy is best crafted when all stakeholders express their positions. That is why Mia has supported locally driven approaches, such as efforts to preserve land in Millcreek Canyon and lands along the Wasatch Mountain Range.

Utahns are more than capable of coming together to find smart solutions to land and resource issues. And, in the majority of cases, they are best equipped to manage the land. Most elected officials and bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. have never visited Utah. Mia pledges to continue bringing Utah’s plans and ideas to them.

Immigration
As the daughter of immigrant parents, Mia understands the importance of sound immigration policy. The US has been both economically and culturally enriched by the determination, strength, and diversity of immigrants who have sought better lives on American soil. Mia supports legal immigration, and has fought for an immigration system that facilitates the American dream and incentivizes would-be immigrants to arrive through the proper channels. She has worked hard, and will work even harder, to secure the US border, prevent visa overstays and abuses, and modernize the outdated legal immigration system.

The following represent a few of the actions Mia has taken as well as her proposals to fix the broken system:

  • She has strongly opposed the President’s unilateral action to override the US immigration laws, because such overreach threatens the system of government, the rule of law, and sends the wrong message to immigrants
  • She has supported, and will continue to support, legislation to ensure enforcement agencies are equipped to secure our border, thereby protecting the nation from potential security threats such as ISIS
  • She will continue working to prevent visa overstays, which account for nearly 40% of the illegal immigration in the country
  • She will push for the implementation of an entry-exit tracking system, which has been mandated by law for years
  • She has supported, and will continue to support, legislation to create an entrepreneur visa, creating a process for skilled international entrepreneurs to start small businesses and hire American workers on United States soil
  • She has supported skilled visa reforms that will lead to a fair and equitable immigration process and will allow international students who graduate from U.S. colleges to contribute their skills to American companies, instead of foreign companies

Fiscal Responsibility
The federal government is on an unsustainable path. Despite increasing revenue from taxes, deficits are now on the rise and our national debt has increased to more than $19 trillion dollars. Congressional Budget Office projections show that net interest payments will rise in the coming years, crowding out spending in other areas. Ultimately, this fiscal situation will limit the ability of Congress to respond to future, unexpected crises and will threaten our children’s future.

Mia believes in a sustainable path for federal spending. Our children deserve a bright future. And hardworking taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to spend hours, weeks, or months working to simply pay interest on debt accrued by previous generations.

While in Congress, Mia has kept her promises to the 4th District. She has worked hard to promote a financially sustainable future by:

  • Cosponsoring a balanced budget amendment
  • Cosponsoring legislation to set a regulatory budget for executive agencies, putting Congress in control of the size and scope of the regulatory state
  • Cosponsoring legislation compelling Congress to pass a two-year budget, preventing yearly crisis-to-crisis budgeting
  • Cosponsoring legislation to end spending on programs that hasn’t been authorized by Congress, taking the budgeting process off autopilot
  • Voting for a responsible budget that gradually balances
  • Voting against an irresponsible budget that reverses progress made in deficit reduction
  • Fighting wasteful spending programs

Senior Citizens
Utah’s seniors have spent their entire working lives paying into Medicare and Social Security, and they deserve all the benefits they receive from those programs. While in Congress, Mia has fought to preserve both Medicare and Social Security. She worked to ensure federal regulators did not cut Medicare Advantage, and she voted against legislation that endangered Social Security funds. Utah’s seniors deserve the benefits they have earned, and Mia pledges to continue to stand on their behalf in Washington.[31]

Democratic Party Ben McAdams

McAdams' campaign website stated the following:

“

Fixing a Broken Congress
What Ben will do: Ben believes Utahns deserve better than a dysfunctional government. Currently, partisan bickering keeps Congress from finding solutions to issues that matter to Utah families. Ben plans to put people over politics in Washington.

What Ben has done: Ben worked with both sides of the aisle in the Utah Legislature and as Salt Lake County mayor to balance the budget and act on important initiatives. He will continue to work with colleagues in both parties to overcome Washington’s broken politics and put Utah families first. He has proven bringing people together helps to solve tough problems like homelessness and criminal justice reform.

Ben believes Congress shouldn’t get paid if it can’t do its job to pass a budget. Utah families and small businesses balance their checkbooks and manage their budgets every month. They expect Congress to do the same.

Health Care
What Ben will do: Ben wants to work with both parties to fix the Affordable Care Act, rather than just scrapping it.

Ben supports allowing parents to keep their kids on their policies until they are 26. He will oppose allowing insurance companies to kick people off for pre-existing conditions or charge women higher premiums. Ben will work to ensure people aren’t punished for working harder and getting a raise, throwing them off their health care coverage.

He will also work to lower out-of-pocket expenses and keep premiums down. Ben supports efforts to ensure Medicare can negotiate with the drug companies. This would lower prescription prices for seniors and costs to taxpayers. Ben plans to work with both parties to eliminate the Cadillac tax for working families.

What Ben has done: All Utah families deserve access to quality, affordable health care.

Ben supported the Healthy Utah plan, which would have responsibly expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act to thousands of Utahns without health insurance. After efforts stalled, Ben worked across the aisle to pass a permanent extension of Medicaid to include single adults who are homeless or in the criminal justice system and low-income families with children.

Since its implementation in December 2017, hundreds of individuals who struggle with opioid addiction have been enrolled in drug addiction treatment. This treatment will help them regain stable, productive lives. In addition, the Medicaid extension added hundreds of new treatment beds to Utah’s nonprofit facilities. The treatment beds helped free up jail space for serious offenders while providing a more cost-effective, positive alternative to jail for nonviolent drug offenders.

Ben called on Congress to restore funding to the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, after its funding lapsed in September 2017. This proven, bipartisan program, championed by Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, provides health insurance to the children of working parents. The program covers visits to the doctor, health screenings, vaccinations and vision and dental care. More than 19,000 Utah kids faced health care uncertainty until Congress finally acted to fund CHIP in January.

Budget & Taxes
What Ben will do: Ben believes hard-working Utah families and businesses deserve a fiscally responsible government that is held accountable for tax dollars.

Ben supports tax reform that makes the tax system simpler, fairer and more predictable. This way, families and businesses can plan for the future. He criticized the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act because it favored the wealthy over the middle class. In addition, it will add $1.5 trillion of federal debt over the next 10 years.

Ben supports a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. It would require Congress stop running record deficits that burden future generations with debt they did not incur.

What Ben has done: As mayor, Ben balanced the budget annually – with bipartisan support – while keeping taxes low. He funded important public safety services; managed critical public health response; expanded parks, trails and open space; and offered countywide access to arts and cultural activities.

Ben spearheaded innovative approaches to homelessness and criminal justice reform. He partnered with the private and nonprofit sectors to pay for programs and measure the results.

Education
What Ben will do: Ben believes education is the best investment we can make in children. He thinks every child should have the opportunity to achieve his or her potential – regardless of zip code or economic circumstance. Ben will work to provide equal opportunity to students.

Ben received federal student loans and Pell grants for college. He understands how important these programs are for families who are helping their children through college. He supports access to financial aid through the U.S. Department of Education and wants more transparency and lower overhead costs.

What Ben has done: Ben led Salt Lake County in a first-in-the-nation partnership to enroll thousands of economically disadvantaged children in voluntary, high-quality preschool.

By investing in early childhood development, county taxpayers got a substantial return on investment by avoiding future costs from student delinquency, pediatric health, drugs, gangs and incarceration. High-quality preschool closes the achievement gap between economically disadvantaged students and their financially stable peers. This leads to higher high school and college graduation rates.

The county’s successful pilot program prompted the Utah Legislature to expand the initiative statewide.

Energy & Environment
What Ben will do: Utahns’ health and Utah’s economy are stronger with clean air, clean water and solutions to address climate change. Ben supports an all-of-the-above energy portfolio, which ensures affordable, reliable energy for Utah homes and businesses. This approach emphasizes increasing the supply of renewable energy, along with research and development of new technologies.

What Ben has done: As Mayor, Ben supported constructing energy-efficient county buildings; building infrastructure to support natural gas and electric vehicles; initiating trip reduction plans for county employees to reduce vehicle emissions; planning and building a county-wide network of safe, convenient bicycle routes; and pushing transit “free fare” days along with other initiatives. He partnered with the private sector and the state on projects like solar installations on county-managed facilities and public transit-oriented developments.

Ben worked with numerous stakeholders for two years to protect Utahns’ drinking water while balancing recreation, transportation and the environment. He met with businesses, government, private landowners, and environmental groups to produce the Mountain Accord – a consensus plan for the Central Wasatch mountains.

Immigration
What Ben will do: The federal immigration system is broken. Ben thinks it’s time for bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform. He wants secured borders, higher legal immigration, undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and more recognition of the important role immigrants play in the U.S. economy.

Nearly 10,000 young adults in Utah have enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. These are youths who came here through no fault of their own and are studying, working, serving in the military and contributing to our community. Ben thinks it’s past time for Congress to resolve the uncertainty they face. The approach needs to strengthen and unite families and allow DACA recipients to continue building their futures.[31]
