Rep. Celeste Maloy projected to win reelection in Utah's 3rd District
November 3, 2026 at 11:03 PM MT · via The Salt Lake Tribune · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Republican Celeste Maloy is projected to win reelection to Utah's 3rd Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Kent Udell. The Salt Lake Tribune called the race for Maloy, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who has represented the district since a 2023 special election.
Maloy previously served as chief legal counsel to former Rep. Chris Stewart, whose seat she won after he resigned. Utah's 3rd District covers much of southern and eastern Utah and is one of the most Republican districts in the country, with a heavily Latter-day Saint electorate.
Maloy's victory keeps the seat in Republican hands and maintains the GOP's hold on all four of Utah's congressional seats.
