Orem Citizens Need to Beware
Stand for Orem Denounces 'Dark Money' in Orem Elections
Stand For Orem wants Orem citizens to be made aware of some troubling things happening in our elections.
The organization known as Stronger Together has formed into a 501(c)(4). These are nonprofits that are formed so they do not have to disclose their donors, even if they spend to influence elections. The candidates they donate to have to disclose the donation, but the 501(c)(4) does not have to disclose who they receive donations from. And that is where the problem lies. Because there's so much dark money, these 'nonprofit' organizations are popping up for the sole purpose of collecting dark money and anonymously boosting certain campaigns. Orem citizens must ask themselves, why would Stronger Together become one of these 'dark money nonprofits'? The only answer is to funnel outside money to influence elections in Orem. Two main motives for out of town donors that should be of concern to Orem citizens would be to influence developer projects and to influence political affiliation. This article shows how it is the goal of the Democratic National Committee to turn Utah blue. https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2025/05/28/dnc-launches-longshot-strategy-to-flip-deep-red-utah
Stand for Orem denounces 'dark money nonprofits' and calls for open and transparent financial disclosures. Orem citizens deserve to know who is funneling money into Orem through our local 'dark money' 501(c)(4).

Pleas of Residents to Preserve Orem's Open Space Ignored
Stand for Orem Disappointed with Results of May 13th Vote
Stand For Orem is disappointed with the results of the vote to rezone the Wilkerson Farm property. It was a packed City Council meeting on May 13th and many
people shared their input.
When it came down to the vote, the four who favored the change, Tom Macdonald, Jeff Lambson, Jenn Gale, and Chris Killpack, ignored the pleas of thousands of emails, scores of speeches in city council meetings, and dozens of "No Rezone" yard signs to side with developers and the real estate company.
The silver lining is that the original plan for multiple townhouses was altered to only include single family homes. We appreciate the Planning Commission and their efforts on this matter.

About Us
Our history
When the Orem State Street master plan, which called for 10,000 new apartments in Orem as well as BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) going down state, was first presented to the community, many citizens expressed their concerns but did not feel heard. From these citizens, a group came together and formed Stand For Orem to maintain Family City USA.
Our mission
The Stand For Orem Political Action Committee is comprised of politically active citizens whose goal is to preserve “Family City USA” values for residents. We hope to educate voters as we campaign for local leaders who will defend and promote policies that sustain these values.
