Celeste Maloy
Maloy voted for the tracked aid bills and said from Jerusalem, on an AIPAC-affiliated delegation: “Their fight today will be our fight tomorrow if we don’t support our most important ally in the Middle East.” A 2024 debate remark and its fact-check are inside.
Maloy has represented Utah’s district since late 2023 (now running in the 3rd after redistricting). Her recorded votes appear as badges on this card, including Yes on the tracked aid bills and No on the amendments to cut aid to Israel per the imported roll calls.
In April 2024 she joined the AIEF freshman delegation to Israel, the AIPAC-affiliated educational trip, and said from Jerusalem: "America stands with Israel. The same forces threatening Israel hate the USA. Their fight today will be our fight tomorrow if we don’t support our most important ally in the Middle East", verified via KSL’s report of her message; she also appeared in an AIPAC promotional video from the trip, per the research record. Her statement on the mandate bill sits with the delegation material in colleague releases.
At an October 2024 debate she described a pro-Palestinian display outside Salt Lake City Hall as "a pro-Hamas display"; KSL’s fact-check, verified, reported the display mourned civilian deaths and carried Free-Palestine posters, finding no Hamas signage; both her words and the fact-check’s finding are carried as their makers’. In 2025 her chief of staff took an AIEF-funded staff trip, per Utah Political Watch. She co-sponsors the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025 and the resolution condemning attacks on Jewish individuals, and has pushed Nonprofit Security Grant increases in Appropriations markups, per the trackers and Jewish Insider.
Nothing located has her addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians as a distinct question.
Tracked votes: backed sending U.S. weapons or funding to the government of Israel in 5 of 5 recorded votes.
