Utah municipal election results: See the winners of Tuesday’s mayoral, city council races
Several Utah cities have close election races, with just dozens or hundreds of votes dividing the potential winners.
Orem saw a heated few weeks coming up to the election, with dueling political action committees fighting for power after one group swept the primaries. The Stronger Orem PAC also claimed the opposing PAC, Stand For Orem, has been using “fearmongering” tactics ever since the primaries to try to regain control.
In early results, candidates endorsed by Stronger Orem — Jeffrey Lambson, Chris Killpack and Jenn Gale — have taken the lead, all garnering more than 7,200 votes while the other three candidates had 7,000 or less.
“We recognize there was an excellent group of candidates who highly engaged the community. We are gratified that our candidates appear to have won. Their message throughout the campaign was of respect and civility and we look forward to the full council working together collaboratively in serving all the residents of Orem,” Stronger Orem said in a statement to KSL.com late Tuesday.
Another contest for which people are anxiously awaiting results is the Ogden mayoral race. In the primaries, Taylor Knuth and Ben Nadolski beat out the rest of the candidates with Knuth winning by a 168-vote margin.
Tuesday’s election, however, sees Nadolski taking an early lead by 936 votes.
“There are thousands more ballots to be counted, and no matter the outcome, it is an honor to be a part of the democratic process. We’re in touch with the county clerk and will have more to say when all of the votes are processed. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to spending time with my family and wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving,” Knuth said in a statement late Tuesday.
