Celeste T. Johnson is a Democratic candidate for Utah House District 59 in the 2026 general election. A former two-term mayor of Midway City, she secured the Democratic nomination after the party's convention, with the primary subsequently canceled. Johnson is running to bring more diverse perspectives to the state legislature, citing concerns about the current Republican supermajority limiting healthy discussion. Her campaign centers on issues vital to Summit and Wasatch counties, including affordable housing and open space, with housing costs being her top priority. She did not seek re-election as mayor, choosing instead to run for the state House.
