Utah Public Lands

Rep. Celeste Maloy officially declared victory in the extremely close 2nd Congressional District Republican primary after the Utah Supreme Court denied a request from her opponent, Colby Jenkins, to count late postmarked ballots.

The Utah Supreme Court’s ruling — coming exactly seven weeks after Election Day — marks the end of Maloy’s primary close-call that included various lawsuits from Jenkins and a recount which she won by just 176 of 107,378 votes. The Associated Press called the race for Maloy at 8:10 p.m. on Tuesday night.

“It’s always exciting,” she said. “It’s stressful getting ready for all of it. But once they’re in the room with us, we get to teach and build a community. That’s the best part.”

However, the start of the school year also brings the weight of challenges that can affect student learning. According to the results of a national survey for Pew Research Center, the three top challenges in America’s public schools are poverty, chronic absenteeism, and student anxiety and depression.
