Newly Sworn-In Rep. Celeste Maloy Faces Potential GOP 2024 Challenger

Colby Jenkins, a combat veteran, has already launched an exploratory committee for the 2024 election cycle.

  • Newly sworn-in Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT) already faces a potential GOP challenger for the 2024 election cycle, Colby Jenkins, a combat veteran and U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret.
  • Maloy won a special election to fill former Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart's seat, marking the first time a woman has been in Utah's congressional delegation since 2019.
  • Jenkins filed papers with the Federal Election Commission in October, allowing him to raise money for a potential campaign.
  • Maloy's Utah voter registration was marked inactive because she did not cast a ballot in 2020 and 2022, a point Jenkins may use to his advantage.
  • Maloy, a supporter of former President Donald Trump, won a three-way Republican primary in September and faced a few challenges during her campaign.
