Bill Orton
Bill Orton's passing is a sad moment for us. Bill was a paragon of principle. He wanted to do the right thing in government and didn't care much about the politics of the consequences. He was a model for Democrats in Utah County because he was a public servant who believed that the voters would be attracted to a moderate who eschewed strong partisanship and extremist ideologies. His success as a Democrat in Utah County has been a guide for us as we attempt to reinvigorate the party. I'm glad we were able to honor him with the naming of the Orton Circle while he was alive. We will miss him greatly.
