Utah special election today for Congress' 435th seat
CBSN
Voters in Utah will choose between a Republican former congressional staffer and a Democratic state senator in a special election Tuesday to replace Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart, who recently resigned.
Republican Celeste Maloy, who is Stewart's former chief counsel, and state Sen. Kathleen Riebe, who as minority whip is the No. 2 Democrat in the state Senate, are competing to become the first woman in Utah's congressional delegation since 2019 and only the fifth in history.
The election will determine the 435th member of the House, meaning it will be the first time the House will have all 435 members since earlier this year. Stewart resigned on May 31 and former Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island's resignation took effect on June 1. Democrat Gabe Amo won the special election for that seat on Nov. 7.
