I would think that being a U.S. Senator would probably be more satisfying from a political standpoint if you are interested in changing laws (for example simplifying taxes for businesses) or trying to balance the budget. What would motivate you to want to run for governor?

The deadline for filing is some time in March (if I remember right--the dates may have changed). Most races will be "settled" on who is running by January I imagine. Our convention is in April 2012.
Motivations are the same for both races--to make things better for businesses to start and to grow so we can all have a better standard of living. I am also keenly interested in education.

David,
I know your stance and beliefs and think that if you did decide to run, you would be a fresh breath of air to a stale old boys club. Although I am not in Utah, my brother is in Provo and we would support you how ever we can.

Jamo, you're a crack up!
David, governor or senator, if your policy and platform perspectives are appropriate (that means inline with mine!), your impact will be felt much more broadly than Utah. I say go for it and let's see what you got!

Having had many political discussions with David, I can tell you he is the real deal! He is passionate and sensible. No ego or personal financial gain motivating him. Being a great car builder and businessman is just a bonus. Peace, Darren

In my experience those are the hardest people to get to do what I want them to do.  |

Should you win, will KMS remain the same?

Well, it is a family business.
It may not have the same rudder without David but I wouldn't call it resting on one's laurels, either.
One term, maybe. But no more!

Wow, I might be able to say I bought a car from a Governor or Senator someday.
Kinda like a pencil with bite marks from Jo hn Voight's car. |

Thanks-but I hope you mean in the management sense, NOT the product sense. 
The contrast between a 'green agenda' and 600HP carbon spewers may be difficult to reconcile.

Very true but who would you want on our side?

I'm sure if David operates the state as well as his company, the citizens of Utah will have nothing to worry about. 
If you need someone to help look after the shop and keep Thomas busy let me know. I could use a break from healthcare.  Darren |

Certainly David but I'm not sure ethics can let him choose 'our' side.

Ethics scmethics. Too many open ended questions.
David may be more of of an objectivist.

It's official - David Kirkham for Governor
Provo • Packing tea party credentials and touting his business background, David Kirkham jumped into the governor’s race Wednesday with plans to boost Utah business and bust a controversial guest-worker law.
"I will do everything in my power so the people of Utah can arise and be that shining light on the hill for all of the United States," said Kirkham, invoking the rhetoric of Republican icon Ronald Reagan.
