As Rep. Celeste Maloy asked of her competition while running in last year’s 2nd Congressional District special election, her new Republican challenger Colby Jenkins is asking the congresswoman to face him in 13 primary election debates — one for each county in the district.
Celeste Maloy challenged by GOP opponent to 13 primary debates — just as she dared Republicans last year
Congressional candidate Colby Jenkins at the Utah Republican Nominating Convention in Salt Lake City on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Jenkins has challenged Rep. Celeste Maloy to 13 debates ahead of Utah's 2nd Congressional District GOP primary election.“I think my opponent said it best last year when she issued this exact challenge – Republicans deserve a robust debate on policies that directly impact their lives and the direction of our country,” he said in a statement.
Ten out of the 13 debates Maloy called for took place before last year’s Sept. 5 primary. Edwards declined to participate in the 10 debates put on by Maloy’s campaign, only attending the two put on by the Utah Republican Party.
