Shaunte Ruiz Zundel brings a diverse and fresh perspective to Orem’s city council, a council that needs to better listen and respond to the concerns of Orem residents. She is a champion of the individual and she understands how communities and neighborhoods make up the fundamental fabric of a city. She has a solid platform on Orem’s neighborhood, law enforcement / first responders, high density development and how families fit into the future of our city. Her background and experience make her uniquely qualified to represent Orem citizens. She has my full support and endorsement in this election.

Shaunte would be a great asset to the Orem City council. With her legal background and her work as a child advocate lawyer--she would bring her excellent abilities in research, synthesizing complex issues, and formulating workable solutions to the council. Her passion for families reflects in her day to day work and as a wife and mother of two young daughters. Orem needs great women like Shaunte who represent 51% of our population and have a keen mind and compassion for our way of life.

I am a lifelong Political Independent and support Shaunte Ruiz Zundel for Orem City Council. One of the most basic principles of governance is to distill power down from distant places to the local level. At this level, we are faced with the practical issues of keeping our community safe, our infrastructure up to date, and our city a desirable place to live and work.

As one of Shaunte's former political rivals, I can attest to her wise decision making, character, integrity, and love for our city. Shaunte has dedicated her life to representing and protecting those who have little to no voice in the legal system. Serving on the City Council, Shaunte’s get-it-done attitude and legal background will make her a go-to for other council members and her constituents.

This election is a big deal. An election year is a time when you, the citizen, get to make choices. Ask yourself "Is Orem better now than it was four years ago"? Are the streets safer? Is there less traffic? Are local businesses thriving? Are you living next to a six-story building?

Orem needs more voices on the city council that listen to its citizens all the time, not just when an election is looming. The city needs council members who will work to improve the city even when no one is paying attention. We need to elect people with integrity, character, and courage. Orem needs Shaunte, and people who have made their fellow man their concern and can bring a fresh approach to the city.

If you want a City Council who can bring people together and get things done, vote for Shaunte Ruiz Zundel.
