  The SPEAKER laid before the House the following communication from 
the Clerk of the House of Representatives:

                                              Office of the Clerk,


                                     House of Representatives,

                                Washington, DC, November 28, 2023.
     Hon. Mike Johnson,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     copy of a letter received from Mr. Ryan Cowley, Director of 
     Elections, Office of the Lieutenant Governor, State of Utah, 
     containing unofficial results of the Special Election for 
     Representative to Congress for the Second Congressional 
     District of Utah held on November 21, 2023.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                                Kevin F. McCumber,
                                                     Acting Clerk.
       Enclosure.
                                  ____

                                                    State of Utah,


                            Office of the Lieutenant Governor,

                                                November 27, 2023.
     Kevin McCumber,
     Office of the Clerk,
     House of Representatives.
       Dear Mr. McCumber: Below are listed the unofficial results 
     from the special Utah Second Congressional District election 
     held November 21, 2023. These results are not official at 
     this time and will not be certified as final until the 
     canvass on December 8, 2023. The counties administering the 
     special congressional election will post updated results as 
     they process and count ballots up through their respective 
     county Board of Canvassers meetings which, under the Utah 
     Election Code, may be held as late as December 6th.
       The State Board of Canvassers will convene on December 8, 
     2023 to canvass the returns and will certify the election 
     results at that meeting. As soon as possible after the 
     canvass, the Lieutenant Governor will send the certified 
     election results and an official Certificate of Election to 
     you, both by email and UPS.
       The following link directs you to our website where you may 
     observe unofficial results as they are posted. https://
electionresults.utah.gov/results/public/utah/elections/2023-
Nov-General. I have listed the preliminary vote count below 
     and have attached a screenshot of the website as of the 
     morning of Monday, November 27, 2023.
       The following results are unofficial and likely to change 
     up through the canvasses that are performed by the county 
     legislative bodies.
       Perry T. Myers (Unaffiliated): 1.42 percent 2,195 votes.
       Celeste Maloy (Republican): 56.87 percent 87,649 votes.
       Cassie Easley (Constitution): 2.31 percent 3,556 votes.

[[Page H5929]]

       January Walker (United Utah): 1.82 percent 2,808 votes.
       Kathleen Riebe (Democratic): 33.90 percent 52,253 votes.
       Bradley Garth Green (Libertarian): 2.84 percent 4,374 
     votes.
       Joe Buchman (Unaffiliated): 0.82 percent 1,260 votes.
       Write-in: 0.03 percent 39 votes.
       As of today we are not aware of any challenges or contests 
     to these election results but note that, per statute, the 
     deadline for an individual to contest the results is 10 days 
     after the canvass, December 18, 2023.
           Sincerely,

                                                  Ryan Cowley,

                                            Director of Elections,
     Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
