Evidence
Under the heading "Protecting Religious Freedoms," the campaign site says: "Celeste is a woman of faith and holds religious freedom near and dear to her heart. She knows that Utahns do, too. She will always fight for Utahn's right to worship and practice their faith as they see fit."
Congress.gov shows H.R. 2672 was introduced on April 7, 2025 and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill text says it would authorize continued lawful nonimmigrant status for certain religious workers. The cosponsors list includes Rep. Celeste Maloy [R-UT] on 01/21/2026.
Assessments
Maloy made an explicit campaign commitment to fight for Utahns' religious freedom. In office, she cosponsored H.R. 2672, the Religious Workforce Protection Act, during the same congressional term, which is a concrete legislative action related to religious practice and religious workers. However, the cited bill was only introduced/referred and not enacted, and the evidence does not show a completed policy outcome securing or expanding the promised rights. This supports partial credit for same-term effort, not full delivery.
The promise is broad and ongoing: to fight for Utahns' religious worship and faith-practice rights. The record shows a concrete same-term legislative action, with Maloy cosponsoring H.R. 2672, the Religious Workforce Protection Act, on January 21, 2026. However, the cited bill had not been enacted and the evidence does not show a completed policy outcome securing the promised rights. This supports partial fulfillment through advocacy and legislative effort, not full delivery.
