Celeste Maloy speaks during the 2nd Congressional District Republican primary debate for outgoing Rep. Chris Stewart's seat, Friday, Aug. 4, 2023, in Farmington, Utah. Republican Celeste Maloy won Utah's 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating Democratic state Sen. Kathleen Riebe, the Associated Press reported late Tuesday. Maloy faced a lawsuit claiming she was ineligible to run as a Republican due to issues with her Utah voter registration. Maloy updated her Republican voter registration a day after the special election filing deadline, according to the Tribune. A Utah district judge ultimately threw out the lawsuit claiming Maloy was ineligible to run.
