BREAKING: Celeste Maloy will remain on September’s Republican special primary election ballot after a judge rejected a bid to remove her name.
On Monday morning, Third District Judge Andrew Stone denied a request for a temporary restraining orderMaloy, former legal counsel Congressman Chris Stewart,after five rounds of voting, securing her spot on the Sept. 5 primary election ballot. Since that victory, her campaign has been weighed down by questions about whether she was eligible to run as a Republican in the race to replace her boss.
Denning, one of nearly a dozen Republicans defeated by Maloy at the special GOP convention, asked Stone for a temporary restraining order to keep Maloy off the ballot because, he says, she was not a Republican when she filed to run. Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s office contacted Maloy to fix her registration status after the filing deadline had closed.
“The lieutenant governor’s office was in control of this situation and could have avoided this scenario by disclosing this information,” Shattuck argued. “If you start with a flawed candidacy when you haven’t met the requirements, you can’t retroactively fix that.” Maloy’s attorney, former state Rep. Lowry Snow, said Denning’s claim that Maloy was not a member of the Republican Party was nonsense.Snow added that Maloy listed her address as a Cedar City home owned by her sister when she renewed her Utah driver’s license in 2020. However, she did not register to vote at that address until June.
