Congressional candidate and GOP convention nominee Celeste Maloy and Republican primary rival Bruce Hough faced off Tuesday on some of the most pressing and divisive topics of the day during a televised debate that found the candidates mostly in agreement and only occasionally willing to return punches.
chose to make the effort to engage in the public debate," Matheson said during his introductory comments. "We're grateful to have both of you here tonight for this crucial conversation."
Following opening statements in which they recounted their origin stories and motivation for running for Congress, the two candidates were asked to comment on the former president's ongoing legal troubles and whether they thought the charges were examples of the "weaponization" of the judicial system.
Maloy said that as a lawyer she was wary of opining on evolving legal situations but said the charges appeared to her to be politically motivated and emphasized the need for a "fair and speedy trial." One of the few disagreements between the two candidates came on the topic of abortion. While both labeled themselves pro-life, Hough sees the issue of abortion restriction as belonging solely to the states, a constitutional position he said was reaffirmed by the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
