Two Weeks To Go!

Election Day is only two weeks away. Early voting begins today at 1pm at the Rec Center. More details at my Voter Info page.

Debate Videos

In case you missed the debates from the past couple of weeks, here are video recordings of all the action...all three hours worth. Fortunately you can skip forward to the questions and answers that you care about, something that you can't do live and in person.

Stylish New Lawn Ornaments

Have you seen the newest trend in residential landscape augmentation? Perhaps you've seen these bold lawn ornaments popping up in the yards of your most influential neighbors. You too can be in the avante garde by ordering a "Doctor Dave for District 5" campaign sign for your yard. A friendly technician (me) will come right out and expertly install this beautiful piece of art so that you can proudly show support for your favorite District 5 candidate. No seriously, email me and I'll bring one over.

Act now! Supplies are running out!

Sample Ballot - District 5

Here is a sample of what your ballot will look like, if you live in District 5. It is helpful to read over the propositions beforehand so that you have the opportunity to find answers to any questions you may have. Stephen Hemingway is the Write-In candidate; you'll need to write in "HEMI" for it to count, though.

Remember:

• Early voting starts next week
• Voting registration runs until the 27^th of October

Bike Provo

The Provo Bicycle Committee invited all City Council candidates to respond to five questions about active transportation and making Provo more bicycle friendly. I highly recommend you head over to their website to see our responses.

Council Debates

Attending political debates is one of the quickest ways to become a more informed voter on both the candidates and important issues.

The next debate for all of the candidates is tomorrow (Tuesday). It is being held at the Provo Rec Center, starting at 7pm with a meet-and-greet an hour beforehand. More details can be found here.

Last Wednesday BYU’s Office of Civic Engagement and Political Affairs Society hosted a debate. Here is some news coverage of the debate.

Pick Your Debate

After complaints that there were not enough opportunities for voters to get to know the candidates before the primary, there are three debates coming up in the next week and a half to ask us questions.
