Knee-deep in southern Utah's gritty soil, Celeste Maloy stood with hands dyed brown, explaining the intricacies of federal red tape to a rural landowner.
— who qualified via signature gathering for the Sept. 5 primary contest where they hope to gain their party's nomination and become Utah's next member of Congress.
According to Maloy's oldest brother, Vern, summer days were spent riding bikes to neighboring Ash and Crystal Springs and "wandering through the desert" — all of which, Vern and siblings quickly learned, belonged to the government.In fact, according to Maloy, 98% of her home county is owned and managed by the federal government, which made it impossible for the community to do things like build an elementary school without years of negotiations with the Bureau of Land Management.
The job consisted of helping farmers and ranchers identify resource issues, such as erosion or water shortages, and providing a conservation plan with potential solutions, Hatch said.Days spent in the fields, forming relationships with rural landowners in Beaver County was Maloy's profession for over ten years. But the longer she did it, the more she realized there was more she wished she could do.
None of these problems could be resolved unless she did something, Maloy realized. She got to work meeting with community leaders, negotiating with local BLM agents and eventually participating in a congressional field hearing, which involved sitting down with Utah's federal delegation, including the district's representative, Chris Stewart.
Act, a bill attempting to balance LGBTQ rights and religious freedom, and worked closely with him on legislation to improve the federal government's stewardship of the West's wild horse population and funding for crucial infrastructure projects in rural Utah communities. Maloy says one of her goals if elected is to follow in the footsteps of former Utah 1st Congressional District Reps. Rob Bishop and Jim Hansen, who chaired the House Committee on Natural Resources, so she can lead out on the policies that have the greatest effect on her constituents.
She also said the federal government can save money by limiting federal agencies to the work they were approved to do by Congress., Maloy said she is glad there was a united show of support from the U.S. and its allies when Ukraine was invaded by Russia but hopes we have learned from recent conflicts that dragged on over decades.
