Early life and education

Maloy was born in Cedar City, Utah, and raised in Hiko, Nevada in a single-wide trailer with five siblings; her mother sold Avon products, while her father was a volunteer firefighter. Maloy is the niece of Cliven Bundy and cousin of Ammon Bundy, known for their involvement in the 2014 Bundy standoff. She later graduated from Pahranagat Valley High School in Alamo, Nevada. After graduating high school, Maloy attended Southern Utah University, where she earned her degree in agriculture. She earned a Juris Doctor from J.

Career

Maloy worked for 11 years as a soil conservationist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Utah.

After law school, Maloy worked in Washington County, Utah, as a deputy county attorney, specializing in issues of public land law involving land and water policy. She advocated on behalf of Utah landowners to the United States House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. She has continued working with issues of land rights and ownership with the Utah Association of Counties and the Washington County Water Conservancy District. Her work as deputy county attorney in Washington County put her in frequent contact with U.S. Representative Chris Stewart, and in 2019, she was hired by Stewart as chief legal counsel for both his district and Washington, D.C. offices.

U.S. House of Representatives

Election

In June 2023, she announced her candidacy for the 2023 Utah's 2nd congressional district special election after Representative Stewart announced his retirement to care for his wife's health issues. Stewart publicly endorsed Maloy after reports that thirteen Republicans had filed for the contested primary election.

On June 24, 2023, Maloy won the Utah Republican nominating convention for the 2nd district in an upset. However, she still had to face a primary election, as two other candidates had gathered enough signatures to make the primary ballot. Maloy won the most votes in a September 6 primary, to win the Republican nomination over former state Representative Becky Edwards. Maloy faced state Senator Kathleen Riebe in the general election on November 21 and won by a comfortable margin. She was sworn in on November 28, 2023.
