Even if you don’t live in Draper, Utah to be able to vote for Paul Tonks for city council that’s okay. I still get to voice my opinion and hope that others in Draper will read this and do the same.
Why I’m Voting for Paul Tonks for Draper City Council
1 - He’s the only candidate that had part of his campaign team spend time to come visit those of us that live in the Utah County section of Draper. There aren’t a lot of us, but our votes still count, and they can swing the election in such a small city.
2 - Paul Tonks is “Suncrest Friendly” unlike some of the candidates who have a bone to pick with the development for some reason. Some of those candidates even live in Suncrest, yet for some reason treat the area like outcasts in council decisions.
3 - Paul supports choice in education.
4 - Paul supports “work on a master transportation plan that takes into consideration future growth, and allows the citizens of Draper to have a voice concerning the extension of TRAX into Draper.”
5 - Paul wants to work with developers, not put roadblocks in their way. Draper is notorious for being a pain in the bum to work with because of a few council members who seem to place their personal agendas for development first and foremost.
Paul is the best choice for city council. Vote for Paul Tonks November 6th.

I have a friend who’s on the Draper City Council whose judgment I trust since every time we get into discussions he and I see eye to eye on things, including being in favor of the original plan for extending TRAX through Draper, splitting the school district, and vouchers, and he is most definitely not in favor of Tonks. I don’t know why specifically, but the only two candidates he is endorsing are Troy Walker and Alan Summerhays. He was also in favor of Helt, who didn’t make it through the primaries. His comment has been that “other than Walker and Summerhays none of the other candidates are worth voting for.”
Granted, that’s just one guy’s opinion, but it’s built on his own firsthand and in-depth experience with these people.
I liked Paul Tonks too. He made an effort to campaign in the west side of Draper (another neglected area), and gave very articulate answers to the questions I asked. I was impressed with him. Good luck to him today!
