Republican Celeste Maloy beat state Sen. Kathleen Riebe to win Utah's special election Tuesday night.
The pro-Trump Republican beat out state Sen. Riebe (D), the No. 2 Democrat in the Utah Senate, keeping the Utah 2nd Congressional District seat in Republican hands.
Maloy will join Utah's three other Republican House lawmakers and its two GOP senators in the state's congressional delegation.
The special election was triggered by the resignation of former Republican Rep. Chris Stewart, who left Congress due to his wife's unspecified illness. (RELATED: Congressman Chris Stewart To Announce Resignation)
Maloy, who served as Stewart's chief legal counsel in Congress, won a three-way primary election that month.

As a candidate, Maloy touted her roots growing up in rural southern Utah, of which the district covers a vast portion, and has leaned into her support of former President Donald Trump, arguing the numerous ongoing prosecutions against him are politically motivated.
“It's exciting that we're going to have somebody come out of this primary that represents rural and southern Utah. I think it's time for that, and everybody's ready for it,” Maloy said following her primary win.
