"Republican Celeste Maloy Triumphs in Utah's Special Congressional Election, Replacing Chris Stewart"
Republican Celeste Maloy emerged victorious in Utah's special congressional election, defeating Democrat Kathleen Riebe. Maloy led in 12 out of 13 counties in Utah's 2nd Congressional District, while Riebe had the lead in Democrat-heavy Salt Lake County. Maloy, a first-time candidate and former staffer in Chris Stewart's office, focused on her rural roots during the campaign. The win maintains Utah's all-GOP congressional delegation. Maloy plans to be sworn in next week, despite the results not being certified until December.
