U.S. Rep. Blake Moore and Democratic challenger Peter Crosby faced off in their final debate Tuesday night, with Moore defending his congressional record and Crosby arguing the incumbent lacks courage on key votes. The debate covered issues including data centers, Great Salt Lake preservation, tariffs, and solar power.
