Today, former Utah County Republican Party Chairman Stewart Peay filed his candidacy to represent Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. The 12-year Utah Army National Guard veteran, who served 12 months overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom, seeks to replace Representative John Curtis who is expected to run for U.S. Senate.
“The challenges that our country faces, both at home and abroad, must be dealt with now,” said Peay. “The Utah values on which I was raised – where hard work is rewarded and families are respected – need to be protected from Biden, Bernie and big government bureaucracy that seeks to change the character of a nation that has inspired generations.”
Peay has a distinguished record of commitment and service to Utah and the nation. In addition to his military record, his time as Chairman of the Utah County Republican Party came during the critical 2020 elections and at the height of the pandemic. Despite the disruption, Peay and his team carried out a successful county convention and led the charge in Utah County to take back CD-4 from Democrat control.
“As a longtime resident of this district and lifelong resident of Utah, we embody true American principles better than any district in the country. Now more than ever, we need conservative leadership in Congress to ensure American strength and independence, individual liberty and middle class prosperity.”
Peay is currently a Partner at Snell & Wilmer where he specializes in commercial litigation. He and his wife, Misha, reside in Alpine, Utah and are the proud parents of 4 children.
