Local PAC pushes candidate recruitment, community organizing and upcoming events
Summary
At the Davis County Conservatives meeting, organizers urged attendees to run for local office, attend regular meetings, and participate in upcoming community events including a Constitution Week festival and a Sept. 11 program featuring Dr. Kirk Moore.
Tina Horlacher, chair of the Davis County Conservatives PAC, opened the meeting by introducing her board and describing the group’s three stated purposes: public education, candidate recruitment and mobilization.
"The second purpose that we have is that we are always looking for people to run for political office," Horlacher said, citing open municipal seats and unchallenged local offices. She encouraged attendees to consider running for city council and other local posts.
Horlacher asked first‑time attendees to fill out a sign‑in list and promoted the group’s regular meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. She also highlighted an upcoming Freedom's Light Festival at Bountiful City Park during the week of Sept. 17 and announced a Sept. 11 meeting that will feature Dr. Kirk Moore and a former Army helicopter pilot who objected to COVID‑era vaccine requirements.
Organizers said slide decks and source links from the presentations would be shared via the Davis County Conservatives YouTube channel and by email to attendees who provided contact information. There were no formal endorsements or votes at the meeting; the event was a combination of informational talks and organizing outreach.
Why this matters: local recruitment and turnout shape municipal races and appointments. Organizers emphasized the perceived need for contested local elections and for community engagement on planning and public‑safety issues.
