Celeste Maloy

Mormon Women for Ethical Government jump-started an effort in Utah to create quilts with personalized messages from women about protecting democracy. They will be hand- delivered to Utah’s congressional delegation in May.

Maloy says the country risks drifting toward authoritarianism if the executive branch isn't brought under control. But she says her concern isn't specific to President Donald Trump's administration and existed when Democrat Joe Biden was in the White House, too.

Republican Rep. Celeste Maloy and Democrat Nathaniel Woodward took the debate stage in St. George to make their case for representing Utah’s 2nd Congressional District.

The candidates seeking to represent Utah's 2nd Congressional District — incumbent Republican Celeste Maloy and Democrat Nathaniel Woodward — will face off on Oct. 14, 2024, at 6 p.m. in a debate organized by the Utah Debate Commission.

The third annual Conservative Climate Summit preached a simple message: No matter where you stand on climate change, what we’re doing now is not working.

The court rejected Jenkins' suit that asked justices to count a batch of ballots with late postmarks after Rep. Celeste Maloy won a recount by fewer than 200 votes. That makes Maloy the winner of the June Republican primary.

The lawsuit is predicated on the idea that eligible ballots were falsely disqualified because of Postal Service practices during the June 25 GOP primary election.

A small shift in votes didn’t change Maloy’s primary win over Jenkins. Tooele and Washington counties, however, both hit a snag with the machines tabulating adjudicated ballots.

Jenkins hopes to convince the Utah Supreme Court to allow ballots deemed ineligible because of late postmarks to be counted. The argument hinges on how the Postal Service handles mail in southern Utah.

Why has the primary for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District been so close? "The power of Washington County" was a big difference maker as Republicans there went heavily for Jenkins.

The candidates competing for the Republican nomination in Utah's 2nd Congressional District faced off on Monday, June 10, 2024, in a debate organized by the Utah Debate Commission.

Ballots were mailed to registered voters on June 4. If you have questions about the June 25 primary election, voters are encouraged to reach out to their county clerk’s office.
