I’m running for City Council to bring our community together around our shared values; our families, neighborhoods, and community.
Orem is more than just a city; it is Family City USA, and as your council member, my top priority will be to keep Orem a destination for families. I believe that starts with safe streets and prioritizing our first responders.
We need to stay affordable to maintain the vibrancy of our community. I will advocate for well-managed programs, low fees, and fiscally responsible practices.
Responsible growth is vital to sustain Orem’s identity. I will work diligently to support family housing and ensure any development or redevelopment plans are thoughtfully designed to accommodate our existing community, address traffic needs, and strengthen our infrastructure.
Our parks, SCERA, and community activities play a crucial role in family life. I will fight to safeguard their funding.
Local businesses are the backbone of our city. I will champion business-friendly policies that promote their growth and generate job opportunities.
Working together, I know we can build upon Orem’s legacy as Family City USA, creating a remarkable place to live, work, and play for generations to come. I humbly ask for your support and vote.

Hello Orem! My name is Truman Van Cott and I am the only candidate with a grassroots campaign to represent YOU on the Orem City Council. I am a fourth-generation Orem resident and this city is my family’s forever home. My start in politics began with one mission: Stopping High Density Housing.
Since I first entered the arena, I have met with thousands of Utahns who are patriotic and want to protect this great state. This includes Phil Lyman, Natalie Clawson, and 5 small-town mayors who have endorsed my candidacy for Orem City Council. Please visit Facebook.com/TrumanVanCott to connect with me and learn more about this campaign to take back Orem from special interests. VOTE TRUMAN VAN COTT FOR OREM!
