Is Stronger Together funnelling unidentifed money and influence into Orem?
No. Not true in the least.
These are candidates Orem can trust and be proud of
Karen McCandless for Mayor
Karen has decades of community service leadership experience including Orem city council and CEO of Community Action. She is known statewide for successfully bringing diverse groups together and getting things done.
Quinn Mecham for City Council
Quinn has quietly and unselfishly served Orem for many years. A BYU political science professor, he practices what he preaches - that our neighborhoods and community are better when more people work together to address our needs.
Doyle Mortimer for City Council
Doyle's experience as a business leader, state legislator, and his community service gives him unique insights to address the challenges facing Orem.
Angela Moulton for City Council
As a teacher for more than 25 years, Angela believes in the intrinsic worth of each person and that helping others reach their potential builds a better community for everyone.
Values are the foundation
Because of experiences over the past few years, our group, Stronger Together, felt we should seek and encourage exceptional individuals to run for city council.
We didn't look for people with a particular agenda or who thought like us on every issue, but individuals whose lives were founded on values that reflect the Orem we want to be part of.
In brief...
Since we organized in 2022, a small but very vocal and well-funded group has sought to discredit our members and organization. Once again these detractors are accusing Stronger Together of improper behavior – purporting, with zero evidence, that Stronger Together is using money from unidentified sources to adversely influence our community. This is patently false.
Stronger Together has two entities
- a PAC, Stronger Orem
- This entity engages in political activities
- All of its finances are fully disclosed on the Lt Governor’s website
- NO DARK MONEY HERE
- a 501(c)(4), Stronger Together Community
- This entity does not fund PACs, candidates or political campaigns
- NO DARK MONEY HERE
We hope this is clear and helpful but let us know if you have further questions.
It is unfortunate that these groups choose to engage in campaigns of deception. This is not new - we’ve seen it all before. What does it say about the integrity of individuals who spread misleading information? What does it say about how they view their constituents when they try to mislead them? This is not just an attack on Stronger Together, it is an attack on Orem. Deliberate deceit erodes the fabric of respect and trust in our community.
We believe that Orem deserves better. Please help us achieve that.
Sincerely,
Stronger Together Leadership
