Maloy is eligible to run in District 2 according to Lt. Governor
The Utah Republican Party’s nominee for the District 2 special election is eligible to run for office, according to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson. After Celeste Maloy won the nomination run to fill the seat of outgoing Rep. Chris Stewart, claims surfaced questioning whether she was eligible for the office.
In a statement, Henderson said despite claims based on Maloy’s voter registration status, Maloy properly filed to be a candidate and met all legal requirements to run for the office.
