2023 Utah Congressional House District 2 Special Election

In early June 2023, Congressman Chris Stewart announced he would be resigning his post due to medical complications with his wife (see here). This enacted a replacement law created several years ago, requiring a Special Election to be held to replace Congressman Stewart. A Special Election Convention was held, where one candidate was allowed to proceed to the Primary. The winner of that election was Celeste Maloy by 52.1%, after 5 rounds  of voting. Celeste beat out R. Quinn Denning, Henry Eyring, Kathleen Anderson, Bill Hoster, Jordan Hess and Greg Hughes. Remy Bubba Kush, who indicated he would collect signatures and try the convention path – was not at the convention. Ty Jensen dropped out before the convention. Becky Edwards originally was only going to gather signatures.
