ST. GEORGE — With just over three weeks to go until Election Day, Rep. Celeste Maloy, R-Utah, will debate Democratic challenger Nathaniel Woodward on Monday evening at Utah Tech University in St. George.
Maloy narrowly survived a GOP primary over the summer as she looks to win her first full term in Congress. She won a special election last fall to replace her former boss, former Rep. Chris Stewart, and was thrust immediately back into her first reelection bid early this year.
Woodward joined the race much later in May when Democrats named him the nominee for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District to replace Brian Adams, who won the nomination at the party’s convention but withdrew following criticism from some in his party over his defense of some of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot participants.
The Utah Debate Commission will host Monday’s debate, which will begin at 6 p.m. at the Dolores Doré Eccles Fine Arts Center at Utah Tech University. It will be moderated by KSTU anchor Max Roth and will air on KSL Ch. 5.
