Utah 2nd Congressional District

“What Utahns might not realize is what you just lose when we don't have Chris Stewart,” said Jason Perry of the Hinckley Institute of Politics.

Strong backing from rural voters has enabled a Maloy to win a Republican special primary to fill a soon-to-be vacated congressional seat in Utah.

In the three-way GOP primary for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, Hough hopes to position himself as the “authentic” Republican in the race.

During his monthly news conference with reporters, Gov. Cox addressed his feelings toward the recent Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni monument designation and shared his thoughts on the upcoming election.

In the GOP primary for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, Maloy is campaigning in a three-way race with the backing of resigning Republican Rep. Chris Stewart.

Edwards is one of three GOP candidates hoping to win the Sept. 5 primary election in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District.

Two of the three Republicans vying to succeed resigning U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, Bruce Hough and Celeste Maloy, met in the first of several debates across Utah's 2nd Congressional District. Becky Edwards did not participate.

The winner of the Sept. 5 primary election will take on Democrat Kathleen Riebe and five additional candidates in the November general election.

Some Republicans are casting doubt on their convention nominee Celeste Maloy. Meanwhile, Democrats say they’re working ahead.

Maloy was victorious at the June 24 GOP special nominating convention but has faced questions about her candidacy.

Riebe beat two other Democratic candidates for the party’s nomination. She will face other 2nd Congressional District hopefuls in the upcoming November special election.

“I’m your girl,” Maloy quipped after delegates in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District cast their special convention votes at Delta High School.
