Becky Edwards, Bruce Hough, and Celeste Maloy are running in the Republican primary for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District on Sept. 5, 2023. The winner will advance to a general election on Nov. 21.
The winner of the special election will fill the planned vacancy of incumbent Chris Stewart (R), who was first elected in 2012 and will resign on Sept. 15. This will be the first U.S. House special election in Utah since 2017 and the fifth in state history.
Maloy received the most delegate support at the Republican Party’s June 24 convention, placing her on the September primary ballot. Edwards and Hough later submitted signatures in order to appear on the ballot.
