Primary Election

Twelve people ran for the three open seats on the City Council. Six were elminated and six moved on. I congratuate all who ran. To paraphrase one candidate, "I didn't realize how much work it takes to run." Ain't that the truth!

Some may call me sick, but overall, I really enjoyed running for office. I liked visiting with residents and walking through Orem's neighborhoods. There are so many good people in Orem. Now I didn't like asking people for money, removing signs in rainstorms, and dealing with the untrue and unkind rumors that inevitably crop up. Even with some negatives, I certainly don't regret running for office. It is a privilege to serve.
