David Zook for Cache County Executive

In his first year in office, David proved that he has the ability to lead, build partnerships and get things done.  He fulfilled his promises to focus on key priority areas and delivered in a way we've never before seen.  Read here for a summary of what he did during his first year in office.

David is a proven conservative. He has served as Cache County GOP Chairman, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Precinct Chair, in addition to serving two terms on the State’s Republican Central Committee.  While serving on the State Central Committee, David fought to preserve the caucus system. 

While serving as County Executive, David introduced a resolution opposing Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate. When he stood up against vaccine mandates, he got attacked about his stance on abortion...but he stood his ground.  

David served as the City Manager of one of the state's most successful cities, Nibley, Utah, for almost a decade. Prior to that, he spent 15 years working in county leadership, where he served in multiple roles, including public safety, economic development and as Chief of Staff. 

He is the Founding Chairman of the Cache Valley Economic Development Alliance, an organization he founded in 2017 while he was serving as the Chairman of the Cache Chamber of Commerce. Read more about this...

He served from 2012 through 2018 on the Hyde Park Planning Commission and has volunteered for many years with nonprofit organizations, including a decade on the Family Place’s board of directors. 

David has a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and has served as a professor of Public Administration.  He also earned a graduate certificate in Economic Development. 

David has recently earned a national award for his management of the public's tax dollars and he earned the Credentialed City/County Manager designation from the International City/County Management Association.

INTERVIEW ME

If you haven't had a chance to interview me yet, please give me a call or text at: (435)890-9239

Many friends and local leaders encouraged me to run because they are aware of my experience and passion for serving our community.  But the reason why I accepted their call was because I LOVE CACHE VALLEY.  We have been blessed to live in a special place.  My wife and I are raising our kids here because Cache Valley is safe, beautiful and filled with great people.  

I am running for County Executive because I feel a responsibility to protect and preserve the things that make Cache Valley our wonderful home.

Read more about why I'm running...

Since being elected, I've focused on several key priorities, including:

1. Public Safety
2. Roads 
3. Economic Development
4. Preservation of open space, Ag lands and water
5. Protecting your hard-earned tax dollars by modernizing county operations and ensuring efficiency, and
6. Helping the less-fortunate in our community, including the homeless and those struggling with mental health.

Through my years of experience in similar positions, I’ve learned how to run an efficient organization.  I believe government should be run like a business and I've been striving to lead the county in a way that is:

• Efficient
• Prioritizes customer service and 
• Is responsible with the public's tax dollars and
• Modernizes operations
