Ogden Is Winning: Mayor Ben Nadolski on Crime, Growth, and the System That Actually Works

In this episode of the PoliticIt Podcast, Senator John D. Johnson sits down with Ogden Mayor Ben Nadolski to break down what it actually takes to run a city that delivers results.

This is not a conversation about political messaging. It is about execution. Mayor Nadolski explains how Ogden is reducing use-of-force incidents, attracting experienced police officers, and holding taxes steady through operational discipline.

He walks through the failures he inherited, including stalled projects and siloed departments, and how aligning city systems has restored momentum.

The conversation also explores Ogden’s approach to homelessness, including embedding medical and housing advocates directly into police and fire response systems to reduce emergency room strain and lower long-term costs.

At the center of it all is a simple framework: finish the work, align the system, and measure outcomes. This is what local government looks like when it works.

Topics Covered • Why most city projects fail after approval • How Ogden reduced use-of-force incidents by ~20% • The 2400% increase in experienced police hires • Holding taxes steady through efficiency • Homeless response reform and reduced ER transport • Union Station and the future of downtown Ogden •

The “Ogden Way” leadership model. Subscribe for more Politic-It conversations. Real conversations. Real policy. Real outcomes.
