The youth of our day are brought into a world they did not make, then rally together to play the hand they were given. One day, they may imagine their world to be different, somehow changed, but realize the difficulty there is in changing it. This is how I began.

I studied politics for two years, and history for a year more. I then began a brief study of economic models and social systems, oddly followed by an interest in computer engineering (I’m anything if not wildly diverse). And now, I’m running for Provo’s mayor. Your mayor. Using my diverse knowledge and sprawling experience, I intend to fast forward Provo to one of the best cities in the world, not just our state or nation. If not in a successful campaign would I inspire the new era of mankind to take the reigns of their laws, policies, and trade, then by the aspirations I harbor and my pursuit towards them.

As Provo’s mayor, a top priority is to incentivize the creation of a sustainable and self-sufficient future using technology already developed, lowering tax burdens on residents, providing numerous economic opportunities, and investing in the advancement of new urban infrastructure and models. I envision a supportive and advanced Provo that pays respect to our traditions and paves the way for the new era. Rather than dreaming of one day, let’s start now.

At your service,

Thatcher A. Longman.
