Election Recap

On Tuesday elections were held across the state. Join our hosts as they unpack the results we know already, those that are almost certainly decided, and those that are still up in the air. What does this election cycle mean for your area? You won’t want to miss this conversation!

Congresswoman-elect Celeste Maloy

Congresswoman-elect for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, Celeste Malloy, joined us on the show to discuss the race. How is she feeling? How did a previously unknown candidate at the convention become the projected winner? What caucuses has she thought about joining? Join us to have your questions answered and more.

Municipal and Mayoral Races

At the time of our conversation with Ben Nadolski, Ogden Mayoral Candidate it was a tight race between him and his opponent. Nadolski sheds some light on how the timeline change affected his campaign and what he plans to do first if he wins the seat. We also spoke to Cam Diehl, Director of Utah League of Cities and Towns to discuss his thoughts on the municipal results so far across the state.

Election Night Closing Thoughts

We finished up the hour with some final thoughts on last night's election. There is a new website that has much more functionality and efficiency compared to the old one. We are joined by Mark Mitchell, Director of Election Systems to discuss the new state election site.

Update on SLC Olympic Bid

We begin the second hour of the show talking about Salt Lake’s Olympic bid for 2034. We’re joined by Fraser Bullock, Chief Operating Officer for the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee, to find out more about our bid and how it would look if we hosted again. Yesterday, the International Olympic Committee met with Governor Cox and other members of the Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games. We find out how that meeting went and what makes Utah so attractive as a venue.

Does the RNC Need Revamping?

The KSL at Night hosts talk about the calls for a shake-up to the Republican National Committee. We’ve seen not only calls for the Chair to resign by Vivek Ramaswamy but also for the organization to stop hosting National GOP debates by Former President Donald Trump. If the RNC were to stop hosting GOP debates, how would that affect voters’ discernment process for candidates of their party? Tune in!

Third-Party Candidates Threaten to Disrupt

We have one confirmed independent candidate in Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and another potential independent in Senator Joe Manchin, both close to different sides of the aisle. Would the effect of both of these independents running cancel each other out? Which straight-ticket party would suffer more as a result of the candidacy of these independents?

Thanksgiving Traditions

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and families across the U.S. will gather around the table to spend time together. Our hosts discuss their Thanksgiving traditions and how they cook their turkeys. We also give farewell to KSL at Night producer Carlos Artiles Fortun.
