I don’t condone negative or personal attacks, so my campaign has been positive and focused on the issues, but when a candidate votes to raise taxes and tries to deny it, that is an issue residents should know about.

Because the truth matters.

It’s clear my opponent is trying to change the subject and is upset Orem residents are holding him accountable for his public record. We should hold every elected official accountable for what they do in office. No one is above being responsible to the residents and taxpayers they are supposed to represent.

The truth is the last time Jim Evans was mayor; he voted to significantly raise your taxes. Here’s a link to the minutes.

He also committed support to a developer instead of Orem residents. Here’s a link to the contract he signed with the developer supporting his campaign.

I’m in this race for YOU. I’m not taking money from developers, and I am only running to listen, serve, and help lead Orem responsibly into the future.

My focus is on solving problems for the future and doing better than Orem has in the past. We must protect our family neighborhoods, keep residents safe, and keep taxes low. This is done with leadership focused on putting residents first, and that is the type of leadership I will bring as your next mayor.

I will always be transparent and honest about what is happening, so we can work together to make Orem an even better place to live for all of us. It’s time to move forward from the old ways of taxing and spending and poorly planned high-density development.

If you have questions, please get in touch with me directly at 801-226-2698. You can also go to my website DaveForOrem.com to learn more about me and where I stand on the issues. As your next Mayor, I’ll always be available and accountable to you.
