Republican Celeste Maloy wins Utah special election to replace her former boss US Rep. Chris Stewart

Republican Celeste Maloy won a Utah special election Tuesday to replace her former boss, U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, in a race that will put a woman back among Utah’s five-member congressional delegation for the first time since 2019. “And I hope other people see me, and realize that.” Stewart resigned in September after 10 years in Congress because his wife is ill. Maloy was Stewart’s chief legal counsel. While she thinks the heated debates over spending are good, she said she’s hoping she can be “a uniter in the conference.” She will join Utah’s three other Republican U.S. House members. Maloy went on to ride a wave of rural support and win a three-way Republican special primary Sept. 5, beating former state Rep. Becky Edwards and businessperson Bruce Hough.
