UTAH, Nov. 22, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Votes continue to be counted after Tuesday’s election, but Wednesday’s tally still seems to favor specific candidates in several high-profile races.
The Salt Lake County Mayor’s race appears to have gone to incumbent Erin Mendenhall, who had 58% of the vote as of 5 p.m. Wednesday. Ross “Rocky” Anderson came in second, with 34% of the vote.
Anderson has not conceded. The final vote count is expected to be released Friday.
In Ogden, the mayoral vote so far favors Ben Nadolski, with 54.8% of the vote Wednesday afternoon. Coming in second with 45.2% of the vote is Taylor Knuth. Votes continue to be counted.
Celeste Maloy is on track to fill the District 2 House of Representatives seat vacated by Rep. Chris Stewart. She currently has 61.26% of the vote. In second place is Kathleen Riebe, with 28.73% of the vote, who on election night released a concession statement.
“The voters of the Second District have made their decision,” Riebe said in part. “I just spoke to Representative-elect Maloy and wished her the best. I look forward to her advocacy on behalf of our state at the national level, and the pressing issues of water, affordable housing, and sustainable growth that face all Utahns.”
