Kurt Bestor will perform a benefit concert for the Utah County Democratic Party at the Center Stage Theatre at UVU on Friday, August 22, at 7:30 p.m. "We're very excited Kurt Bestor wants to help the party elect our candidates this year," said Richard Davis, county party chair. "This will be the major event for the county party's efforts to gather the necessary resources for the fall campaign. Please come and support the party and its candidates while listening to the beautiful music of Kurt Bestor."
Bestor, a popular Emmy-award winning Utah performer and composer, was raised in Orem. He is famous for his composition, "Prayer of the Children," and his theme for the 1988 Winter Olympics. He also has composed musical introductions for television programs. His Christmas concerts have become a popular tradition. He also is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention next month.

The county party's recent fundraising dinner was a great success. Scott Matheson delivered a stirring speech urging Utah County Democrats to press forward in changing politics in Utah County. Over 70 people attended and the party raised $2900.
My thanks go out to the fundraising committee. They organized the dinner and recruited people to attend. They have been instrumental in the party raising more funds needed to provide services and financial assistance to our candidates.
Together, we can make a difference. |

Pssst, buddy. Over here. Yeah, right here. Got a tip for you. Can't miss.
Next time you wanna sound smart talking to important people in Utah Valley, bring up the Democrats.
Whahhh?
Shhh! I know, I know, but keep your voice down. Seriously. Listen, what they've done this year is staggering.
So, say you find yourself talking to some Very Important Know-It-All and you're just dying to be the one who knows more just this once. You tell this story.
Two years ago, Utah County Democrats fielded a measly six candidates for 13 seats in the state Legislature.
That handful of hopelessness, er, hopefuls, raised a meager $26,000 when you subtract the personal loans made by one candidate.
The Republicans, in those six contested races alone, raised nearly 10 times more, $243,000.
Oh, and the Republicans won every seat from Utah Valley.
As usual.
But your buddy already knows that.
So far this year, things are dramatically different, and the Know-It-All you want to impress doesn't know how much.
He may have read that the Democrats have 13 candidates for 13 seats.
But there's no way he knows those Democrats have raised a stunning $125,245.
You read it here first.
And by the way, the Republicans have raised $131,059. |
