WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters in Utah’s second congressional district will cast ballots Tuesday in an Thanksgiving-week special election to fill the last remaining vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The major party nominees are Republican Celeste Maloy and Democrat Kathleen Riebe. The winner will replace former Republican congressman Chris Stewart, who stepped down in September after six terms, citing his wife’s illness. Maloy is an attorney and served as Stewart’s chief legal counsel in Congress. Riebe is a second-term state senator and the chamber’s minority whip. She previously served on the state school board.
