U.S. Rep. Celeste Maloy fended off Phil Lyman in the Republican primary in Utah’s newly drawn 3rd Congressional District, leading the former state lawmaker by a 68% to 32% margin as of Tuesday night.

“I am deeply honored by the tremendous support we received across Utah’s new 3rd Congressional District,” she wrote on X Tuesday night. “This district spans 18 counties, and over the course of this campaign, I spent countless hours on the road meeting with voters, listening to their concerns, and working to earn their trust.”

Maloy currently represents Utah’s 2nd District. The new 3rd District covers much of her current district, which spans southwestern Utah. Lyman previously represented part of the area in the state Legislature before he mounted an unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign against Gov. Spencer Cox in 2024.

Lyman had not put out a statement about his loss as of late Tuesday night.

Maloy will face Democrat Kent Udell in the general election this fall.

At the state party convention earlier this year, Republican delegates split between Maloy and Lyman almost evenly. As neither candidate got more than 60% of the vote, both made it to the primary ballot.

The incumbent, however, significantly outraised Lyman during the primary election cycle. As of early June, she reported more than $1.1 million in contributions, while Lyman reported just over $28,000.

In Congress, Maloy sits on the House Committees on Appropriations and Natural Resources. She was previously an attorney for former U.S. Rep. Chris Stewart before taking his seat in a special election in 2023 following his retirement.

Her victory Tuesday night was especially notable after she won her 2024 GOP primary by just 176 votes.

Lyman has become a fixture in Utah politics in recent years. Following his gubernatorial bid, he ran for chair of the state Republican party and received notable support from Republican delegates but fell short of party chair Rob Axson.
