Governor Cox Backs Celeste Maloy in Key Utah Congressional Race

In a significant development in the race for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, Governor Spencer Cox has officially endorsed Celeste Maloy, raising the stakes in the Republican primary. His endorsement underscores the importance of aligning Utah’s representation in Washington with the state’s core values, including a strong stance on border security and a commitment to fiscal responsibility.

Maloy, who is seeking her first full term following a victory in a special election last year, faces competition from Colby Jenkins in the primary. With the primary set for June 25, the winner will represent the Republican party in the November general election, facing off against candidates from the Democratic, Constitution Party, and unaffiliated positions. Governor Cox’s support for Maloy adds a significant layer of interest to the primary race, particularly following former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Maloy, thereby solidifying her position as a key contender in the race.
