Utah GOP convention chooses primary candidate for Stewart's seat

The Utah Republican Party has finally chosen the candidate they hope will replace Rep. Chris Stewart’s seat in September’s special election.

After many hours of voting and listening to almost a dozen candidate speeches, Celeste Maloy was voted to be the GOP nominee for Utah’s 2nd congressional district.

Maloy has experience in both agriculture and law. She spent over a decade working with ranchers and farmers before joining the Washington County Attorney’s Office.“I know this district. I know these issues,” she said to the convention. “We’ve worked on these issues together.” “I served as Speaker of the House. By doing that, I have a proven track record for addressing the issues specifically with the second district,” said Hughes on-stage.
