OGDEN, Utah — Weber County election officials have released their first count of ballots cast in Tuesday's primary election.
One of the most impactful races is for Ogden Mayor, where seven candidates are running. It is a non-partisan election, so the top two candidates will advance to the general election.
As of 8:30 p.m., the results were:
- Taylor Knuth: 1,435 (19%)
- Ben Nadolski: 1,359 (18%)
- Bart Blair: 1,319 (18%)
- Angel Castillo: 1,270 (17%)
- Jon Greiner: 1,200 (16%)
- Oscar Landon Mata: 572 (8%)
- Chris Barragan: 281 (4%)
FOX 13 News will update these numbers as more results are released; however, officials said there will not be any more released until Wednesday.
"We're feeling really good. We are incredibly proud of the amount of support our campaign has received so far," Knuth told FOX 13 News after the first round of numbers came out. "We are cautiously optimistic, looking forward to the rest of the votes to be counted in the next few days. We trust the democratic process and we just are incredibly proud of the thousand and something odd people who said yes to our campaign."
Nadolski also spoke with FOX 13, saying: "It feels good. I mean, it's nerve-wracking, right? But we knew it was going to be tight. We're right where we want to be and we're super thankful for all the support we've had. Our supporters, our volunteers, our donors, we've really felt the surge of support throughout the campaign all the way through today, so we feel really good about where we're at."

The results will be finalized when a "canvas" takes place two weeks after the election (Sep. 19).
