Meet David

David Edward Garber introducing himself at an Orem "Meet the Candidates" event.

I thank the City of Orem for hosting a great “Meet the Candidates” event on 2023 Aug 10. Here’s a video recording of my self-introduction to Orem voters at that gathering. I’m passionate about freedom, and I yearn to help my fellow Oremites to enjoy the blessings of liberty to the extent that they’re willing-and-able to receive them.

I regret that I lacked enough time to address zoning well, which is likely Orem’s top issue in 2023. If you’d like to understand my views about this subject, then please peruse my website pages about fundamental political principles, municipal zoning ordinances versus individual property rights, and additional references to consider.

Cottage Meetings

I enjoyed attending a couple of cottage meetings this summer, including one hosted by Stand for Orem last month and another hosted by state representative Nelson Abbott this week. Here’s a video of my remarks at the former event, which focus especially on both zoning and affordable housing, for whomever they may interest…

I’m scheduled to attend two additional Stand for Orem cottage meetings before this August ends, one in English and one in Spanish—so, please come see me in-person, bring your questions to ask me, and let’s chat for a better Orem! For voters who can’t attend these meetings, Stand for Orem will record them for their YouTube channel.

UPDATE: Since posting this blog entry, one cottage meeting was limited to only four candidates, and I didn’t make the cut, while the other cottage meeting (en español) was cancelled entirely. My apologies! But I’ll attempt to host a booth on August 26th (Saturday) from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM in Orem’s Center Street Park at a Liberty Revival.
