Let's do this!

After careful consideration and family deliberation, I have decided that, win or lose, standing for re-election is the right thing to do.

I have learned so much in the past year and a half. I feel that has been a significant investment and that I am even better prepared now to do the work of the people.

I have tried to be open and transparent. This blog chronicles almost every issue I've faced and vote I've taken, often including my thoughts, and feelings, and reasoning. I will be participating in debates and campaign events in the coming months, but I hope to have earned your vote through the way I've represented you and the interests of Provo since taking office.

I welcome all the support that I can get so that I can keep my primary focus on the work of the Council. Send me an email at DaveOfProvo@gmail.com if you are interested in helping out. I imagine it'll be a couple months before the campaign gets going.

I am hopeful that voters of District 5 will have several good candidates to choose from this cycle. I have heard of one other person who is interested in running. Please encourage good potential candidates to consider running, or throw your own hat in if you feel you could represent our neighbors well.
