Celeste Maloy defeated Becky Edwards and Bruce Hough in the Republican primary for Utah's 2nd Congressional District on September 5, 2023. She advanced to the general election on November 21.
As of September 7, 2023, approximately 83% of the votes were counted. Utah conducts its elections entirely by mail and will count any ballot received by September 19 as long as it was postmarked on Election Day.[1]
Incumbent Rep. Chris Stewart (R), first elected in 2012, resigned on September 15. This was the first U.S. House special election in Utah since 2017, and the fifth in state history.[2]
Maloy qualified for the primary by receiving the most delegate support at the Republican Party's June 24 convention. Edwards and Hough submitted signatures in order to appear on the ballot.
Writing for the Deseret News, Frank Pignanelli said, "Convention results are poor indicators of primary election results, so all contenders have a chance ... The GOP primary aspirants have distinctive, but not overwhelming, advantages and disadvantages. Consequently, success depends upon the basics of retail politics — clever messaging and effective 'Get Out The Vote' measures."[3] In the same piece, LaVarr Webb said, "They're all mainstream Republicans and reflect the views of most Utah voters."[3]
Edwards served in the Utah House from 2009 to 2018, before which she worked as a family therapist and social worker.[4] Edwards placed second in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in 2022, receiving 30% of the vote.
Hough, a political consultant and business owner, chaired the Utah Republican Party from 1991 to 1995 and served as a national committeeman with the Republican National Committee.[5]
Maloy was counsel for Stewart's Washington, D.C., office from 2019 to 2023, before which she worked as a soil conservationist and deputy county attorney in Washington County.[6]
FiveThirtyEight's Geoffrey Skelley and Nathaniel Rakich wrote, "Edwards rose in prominence in 2022 when she challenged ... Sen. Mike Lee from his left in the GOP primary as an anti-Trump alternative." Skelley and Rakich continued, writing that "the ideological divisions in the race could provide opportunities for Maloy or Hough to outdistance Edwards," adding that both candidates had "criticized the indictments of Trump as politically motivated and taken firmly anti-abortion positions."[7]
Stewart was re-elected in 2022, defeating Nick Mitchell (D), 60% to 34%. Based on district lines drawn following the decennial census, Donald Trump (R) would have received 57% of the district vote to Joe Biden's (D) 40% in 2020.
As of September 16, 2025, 13 special elections have been called for the 118th Congress. From the 113th Congress to the 117th Congress, 67 special elections were held. For more data on historical congressional special elections, click here.

Noteworthy events
Ballot eligibility challenge
On July 31, 2023, Third District Judge Andrew H. Stone rejected a request to temporarily remove Maloy's name from the Republican primary ballot amid pending litigation regarding her ballot eligibility. Convention candidate R. Quin Denning (R) made the request as part of a lawsuit filed on July 18, 2023.[21]
In his ruling, Stone said, "Ballots have been mailed and weighing that against the harm claimed here by petitioner, the balance tips strongly in favor of the Lt. Governor's Office and candidate Maloy ... Public interest favors not upsetting the election process."[41]
On July 18, 2023, Denning filed a lawsuit against Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson (R) and Maloy alleging that Henderson, the state's chief election official, violated state law when she accepted Maloy's candidate filing for the special election. Denning said Maloy was not a registered Republican in Utah when she began her special election campaign and that Henderson should have disqualified her candidacy but failed to do so.[22][23]
Denning's attorney, Chad Shattuck, said, "We're here to prevent an illegal candidate from being on the ballot. We're here seeking to have the election code enforced."[41]
Under Utah state law, a candidate for elected office must be a registered member of a political party in order to seek its nomination unless the party's bylaws provide an exception.[42]
Election officials marked Maloy's registration status as inactive after receiving information from the National Change of Address Processing showing that her residence had moved to Arlington, Va., where she lived while working for Rep. Chris Stewart (R). Maloy did not cast a ballot in Utah during the 2020 or 2022 elections.[43][44]
Maloy filed to run in the special election on June 12, 2023.[45] On June 15, one day after the special election's filing deadline, Maloy submitted a new voter registration form after receiving information from Henderson's office regarding the lapsed registration status.[22] The Iron County Clerk accepted Maloy's registration form on June 16, switching her status to an active voter.[43]
Henderson said, "If you're registered in good faith and you've never registered elsewhere ... then you would assume that you're still a registered voter in the state," adding, "If they're making a good faith effort, there is no way I'm going to disqualify them on a little technicality ... There's just no legal problem here."[46]
Maloy received a majority of the delegate vote at the June 24 Republican convention, winning a spot on the September primary ballot. Utah Republican Party Chairman Robert Axson submitted Maloy's name as the party's convention winner ahead of the July 5 deadline to do so.[46]
June 24 Republican convention
On June 24, 2023, Maloy defeated Edwards, Hough, and eight other candidates in the Republican Party convention, winning the party's nomination and a spot on the September 5 primary ballot in the special election for Utah's 2nd Congressional District.
A convention differs from a primary in that participation in the former is limited to a smaller number of voting delegates, whereas participation in the latter is open to all Republican voters in the district.
In order to win the convention, a candidate needed to receive a majority of the delegate vote. If no candidate received a majority, candidates who received the fewest votes were eliminated before another round of voting.
Maloy won the convention after the fifth round of voting, defeating former House Speaker Greg Hughes (R) 52% to 48%.
Edwards and Hough advanced to the third and second rounds of voting, respectively. Both candidates qualified for the September 5 primary ballot by gathering and submitting signatures. Click here to learn more about ballot access rules in Utah.

Election calendar changes
Under state law, special congressional elections in Utah must be held at least 90 days after the governor receives a resignation letter and be on the same day as a municipal general election, a presidential primary, a regular primary, or a regular general election.[47]
Originally, Utah was set to hold only municipal elections in 2023, with primaries on August 15 and a general election on November 7.
U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart (R) submitted his resignation letter to Gov. Spencer Cox (R) on June 7.
Under the original calendar, the earliest date to hold the special primary in the district would have been November 7, to coincide with the original municipal general election date. The special general election date would have been on March 5, 2024, Utah's presidential primary date.
During this time, the 2nd District would have remained vacant, leaving it without representation and lowering congressional Republicans' House majority to 221 members.
Instead, Cox called a special legislative session, where lawmakers adjusted the entire state's election calendar by setting the September 5 primary, exactly 90 days after Stewart submitted his resignation, and moving the general election to November 21.[48]
Election context
Ballot access requirements
A political party candidate for the U.S. House in Utah can be nominated via the convention process or the petition process. Seeking a party nomination via the convention process does not preclude a candidate from also using the petition process.
Conventions are conducted in accordance with political party bylaws. For more information about the Republican convention process in this race, click here.
If a candidate opts to petition for ballot placement, they must file a notice of intent to gather signatures with the lieutenant governor's office and then submit at least 7,000 valid signatures before the signature gathering deadline. In this race, the deadline to file a notice of intent was June 14, and petitions had to be submitted to the lieutenant governor by July 5.[49]
