Cache County government needs a reset. This desire was manifested those in attendance at the Cache GOP Lincoln Day Dinner, where in a straw poll vote only one incumbent running for county office received more votes than their challenger. In the more substantive votes from the Cache Republican Party Convention, no County Council incumbents received more votes than their challenger. Jon-David Jorgensen won the Straw Poll vote and continued the momentum at the County Convention where he beat the incumbent 57% to 42%. Cache County needs a principled conservative to put the needs of Cache County at the forefront of decision-making.
Jon-David Jorgensen is a small business owner, successful lawyer, and community leader. Moreover, Jon-David is committed to re-opening the county government to the people so that the County Council can better listen to constituents, to respect taxpayers by making fiscally responsible decisions, and to a decision-making process that is rooted in conservative principles, not petty politics.
Jon-David Jorgensen was born and raised in Cache County. He met his wife, a Smithfield native, at Utah State University. After attending law school, and working, out of state and internationally, it’s no surprise that within months of the birth of their first child, Jon-David and his wife returned to Utah, where Jon-David joined the firm of Kirton McConkie in Salt Lake City. Not long after the birth of his second child, they finished the journey back home, settling in Smithfield.
In addition to acting as Deputy General Counsel to the Malouf Companies in Nibley, Jon-David is a small business owner, working alongside his father and brothers, to run a small herd of beef cattle and landscaping company. He began his legal career practicing at a Wall Street law firm, gaining a deep appreciation of the power of capitalism and the importance of the free market in growing a strong economy. Both during and after his tenure on Wall Street, Jon-David has advised clients through billions of dollars of transactions, in several cases guiding clients through sophisticated high-risk deals that determine the ongoing operations of the business. These experiences have given Jon-David a unique skill set that will be of great value in overseeing the $100,000,000 county budget.
