Celeste Maloy is learning a lot through the process, she shared during her appearance on PBS Utah’s “The Hinckley Report.” Maloy, who worked for former Rep. Chris Stewart’s office, won the special election for the 2nd District in 2022, and was elected to her first full term earlier this month.</p><h3 id="Maloy-navigates-new-committee-roles" class="dn-article-body__h3">Maloy navigates new committee roles</h3><p class="c-paragraph">Currently, Maloy is on the House committees for Transportation and Infrastructure, and Small Business, but she wouldn’t say what panels she’s vying for.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“Those were committees that had openings when I got there in the middle of the Congress. I am working on getting onto committees that I think are really important for Utah’s priorities,” the Utah congresswoman said. “But I don’t want to jinx anything.”</p><p class="c-paragraph">“I’ve never done this before, but I know the steering committee makes all of those assignments,” she said.</p><p class="c-paragraph">The congresswoman explained that Utah’s congressional lawmakers are well-positioned, and have sway over this influential panel. A regional representative from different parts of the country is elected to this assignment panel.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“Our region is Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Oregon. Arizona has six votes, and then the other three states combined have six votes, and yet, Burgess Owens managed to get elected to be our regional rep on the steering committee, which is great news for Utah,” Maloy said. Rep. Blake Moore, the vice chair of the Republican Conference who represents Utah’s 1st District, also has a vote on the committee since he is in leadership.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“We say all the time at the federal level that Utah punches above its weight, but we really are positioning ourselves to punch well above our weight,” she said.</p><h3 id="Utah-delegation-prepares-for-new-congressional-session" class="dn-article-body__h3">Utah delegation prepares for new congressional session</h3><p class="c-paragraph">Former Rep. Ben McAdams, a Democrat who represented Utah’s 4th Congressional District, said the steering committee will go through some changes to establish a Republican majority. Members consider several factors when lobbying for an assignment, like their skills, background, and, most importantly, issues that are important to the state they represent.</p><p class="c-paragraph">He noted that “Utah always wants to have somebody on natural resources because so much of our land is controlled by the federal government.” For the upcoming congressional cycle, Utah Republican <a href="https://www.deseret.com/politics/2024/11/07/sen-mike-lee-trump-administration/">Sen. Mike Lee</a> announced he will be the next chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.</p><p class="c-paragraph">McAdams, who was on the science committee so he could advocate for the University of Utah, a tier 1 research center, said the Education Committee is another priority for the Beehive State, and Owens, who represents the 4th District, is jockeying to be the chair of that panel.</p><p class="c-paragraph">Maloy added that Utah’s state and federal elected officials were well coordinated on education policy. The state legislature passed bills that ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs in universities last year. To solidify this policy win, Owens introduced a bill in Congress that would <a href="https://www.deseret.com/politics/2024/09/23/burgess-owens-college-accreditation/" target="_blank">prohibit</a> <a href="https://www.deseret.com/education/2024/05/31/utah-tech-business-colleges/">college</a> accreditors from requiring college professors to include topics like diversity, equity and inclusion, and critical race theory.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“If the state’s telling universities you can’t do this, the federal government’s telling them you have to, it puts universities in a bind where they don’t know how to follow the law,” Maloy said. But with a well-coordinated state and federal government, “we can have policies that make sense, so people know when they’re following the law,” she added.</p><h3 id="What-Mike-Kennedy-is-hoping-to-accomplish" class="dn-article-body__h3">What Mike Kennedy is hoping to accomplish</h3><p class="c-paragraph">Rep.-elect Mike Kennedy brings his experience and connections from his time as a state senator to his role in Congress. He met with Maloy, Moore, Owens, Kennedy, Sen.-elect John Curtis, and Sen. Mike Lee in recent weeks to talk about what’s next.</p><div class="comments-bubble-container"><div class="comments-bubble">80</div><div class="comments-text false">Comments</div></div><p class="c-paragraph">Alongside a picture of the meeting he released on <a href="https://x.com/KennedyForUtah/status/1858971843329487184" target="_blank">X</a>, Kennedy, who will represent Utah’s 3rd District, wrote he is committed to collaborating with the team and promised to uphold the principles of limited government.</p><p class="c-paragraph">“In the next Congress, we have a lot to accomplish: from making the Trump tax cuts permanent and making life more affordable for families to securing our border and restoring common sense in Washington,” he wrote.</p><div class="dn-article-body__oembed twitter " data-chromatic="ignore"><div><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Utah punches above its weight in Washington when our delegation works together for Utah families.
