David Hinckley, candidate for Utah County Commission

Meet David

David lives in Orem with his wife, Marie, and their family. Like many Utah County families, they care deeply about this community because it is where they have built their life, raised their children, worked, volunteered, and watched the county change.

Background

Professionally, David works in analytics and leadership at Western Governors University, where his job is to help teams use data, reporting, and practical decision-making to solve real problems. He brings that same mindset to public service: listen carefully, look honestly at the facts, and focus on what will actually work.

Forward Party

David has taken key roles in building the Forward Party in Utah because he believes politics should be less about proving who is the most ideological and more about solving the problems families face every day. The Forward Party stands for practical problem-solving, respect for voters, and a politics that is driven by data, collaboration, and results rather than rigid ideology.

Utah County

Utah County is one of the best places in the country to raise a family, but it is becoming harder for families to afford homes, manage commutes, and trust that growth is being handled responsibly. David believes the county needs smart planning, better representation, and leaders who are more interested in good government than political performance.

This campaign is about keeping Utah County family-friendly for the next generation.

A BETTER WAY TO GOVERN

Listen first. Let the facts lead.

Too many politicians begin with answers handed to them by a party. David starts with the people affected, the facts on the ground, and the results Utah County needs.

That means working with anyone who has a good idea, changing course when the evidence requires it, and putting Utah County families ahead of partisan pressure.

Not left. Not right. Forward.

PRACTICAL PRIORITIES

Results Utah County can feel

01

Plan growth around results

Use the county's real levers to improve transportation, coordinate across communities, protect quality of life, and help growth pay its fair share.

02

Make government listen and respond

Bring residents into decisions earlier, explain the tradeoffs clearly, and report back on whether county policies are delivering what was promised.

03

Build a government that represents us

Protect accessible voting, support transparent election administration, and pursue a citizen-led review of how county representation can keep pace with growth.

WHY FORWARD

A different kind of politics

Forward is not about splitting the difference. It is about starting with the people affected, following the evidence, and working with anyone who wants to solve the problem.

People before party

Good ideas do not become bad because of who brought them forward. Utah County deserves leaders who listen beyond their own side.

Facts before slogans

Real problems call for honest tradeoffs, clear information, and the humility to change course when the evidence changes.

Voters at the table

Government works better when residents can participate, elections are accessible, and representation keeps pace with growth.
