Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports major tax cuts and efforts to reduce tax burdens, including repeal of the estate (“death”) tax and backing extensions of Trump-era tax cuts; has proposed generating revenue for tax-cut legislation via federal land sales and opposed adding costly tax-credit extensions to short-term funding bills.
Healthcare
Celeste Maloy has engaged on specific health-related issues such as rural emergency medical services and pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform, but public materials and campaign pages do not lay out a comprehensive position on major health‑policy questions like the Affordable Care Act, a public option, or Medicare expansion. Her public activity emphasizes targeted reforms (rural EMS scheduling, PBM oversight) rather than a stated broad ideological framework for nationwide healthcare coverage.

Immigration & Border
Supports hardline border enforcement measures including policies to increase detention capacity, reinstate Trump-era immigration restrictions (HR2), finish the border wall, and fully fund Border Patrol; has endorsed plans to detain and deport migrants and framed the southern border as a crisis.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports federal restrictions on abortion and has said she would sponsor or vote for legislation that protects the unborn. She opposes taxpayer funding for abortion and has received endorsements from national anti-abortion groups.
Climate & Energy
Supports U.S. energy independence and greater local control of public lands, favors producing domestic energy rather than relying on foreign sources, and emphasizes shortening permitting and reducing federal overreach while backing development of Utah energy resources (including geothermal). Positions prioritize market-driven and state/local solutions over aggressive federal regulation.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports defending Second Amendment rights and opposes gun control measures described as "gun grabbers" while participating in pro-sportsmen and firearms-related congressional caucus activity. Positions emphasize protecting gun ownership alongside public safety and law enforcement support.
News
Celeste Maloy is in the news because she is running for reelection in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District and is facing Phil Lyman in the Republican primary. She won 51% of delegate support at the GOP nominating convention, and both candidates advanced to the June primary. Maloy has been campaigning on restoring trust in institutions, along with budget, debt, and Great Salt Lake funding issues. She also reported strong first-quarter fundraising as Utah’s redrawn districts and the broader redistricting fight reshape the 2026 House map.
