Three Republicans Advance in Utah Special Election Primary to Replace Rep. Chris Stewart
- Bruce Hough, Celeste Maloy, and Becky Edwards have qualified for the September Republican primary.
- Hough has support from national Republicans while Edwards and Maloy have local ties.
- The winner of the primary will face Democrat Kathleen Riebe in the November general election.
- Stewart is resigning due to his wife's health concerns in a district that leans heavily Republican.
- With multiple GOP candidates, the nominee could win with just a plurality of votes like in recent primaries.
