Keith Kuder was first recognized by US Congressman Brad Sherman, the 27th District of California, for his Outstanding Service to the Community in 2001. Since getting involved with community programs, he has maintained a consistently conservative record reflecting the will of the people of the Republic Party. Despite growing up most of his life in a Liberal community, Keith has demonstrated a unique ability to build a consensus amongst friends and has worked across party lines to achieve results. Keith believes that we can reach solutions if we are not concerned about who gets the credit. A staunch defender of individual liberty and economic freedom, Keith Kuder has consistently demonstrated his strong support for government to be more fiscally conservative.
While living in Los Angeles, Keith helped to bring about Change. Keith went before the Los Angeles City Council and millions of viewers in 2002 and asked for a Police Chief more willing to enact reforms and community policing. The following day the Chief of Police, Bernard C. Parks, resigned. A very large part of success of any law enforcement agency is directly related to the community involvement.
He also lived in the Congressional District of Representative Henry Waxman, the 30th District of California, and helped bring about change there as well. Henry Waxman is the ranking chairman on the Oversight and Government Reform committee. Keith currently lives in the Congressional 3rd District of Utah; where Representative Chris Cannon currently serves on the same committee as Henry Waxman. Keiths’ presence in the Utah community helps benefit the history of Chris Cannon and his history of high profile investigations, solid conservative credentials, and tenacity in uncovering government waste, and candor in dealing with Democrats.
In addition, Keith is a leader in Utah for providing College Student events. There are over 180,000 College students in the Utah County area and the population is growing. The Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University Campus’ are within minutes of each other and it is projected that the student population is planning to triple within five years. Keith has organized, managed, and marketed hundred of events with different associations for the benefit of the Charity’s and for conservative student dancing crowds. Believing in crowd management is something that keeps communities safe and crowds entertained.
For years Keith Kuder has served actively in the Republican Party. He has years of employment history involving world class customer service. He has attended DeVry University for a Major in Telecommunications Management. He currently is enrolled at Utah Valley University for Business Management. Keith currently spends time every week at the Missionary Training Center call center as a hobby.
Keith was born in Los Angeles, California on July 30, 1984. He served a two-year Spanish speaking mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Knoxville, Tennessee. Keith is the youngest of two older sisters and was raised by a single Mother.
During my teen years, I was given a copy of the Declaration of Independence when I attended Military Cadet School, and began an unlikely journey to change America.
I am not running to become a delegate to fulfill some long-held ambition or because I believed it was somehow was owed to me. I chose to run in this election — at this moment — because of what Dr. King called “the fierce urgency of now.” Because we are at a defining moment in our history. Our nation is at war. Our planet is in peril. Our health care system is broken, our economy is out of balance, our education system fails too many of children, and our retirement system is in tatters.
At this defining moment, we cannot wait any longer to solve our health care problems. We cannot wait to fix our schools. We cannot wait for good jobs, and living wages, and pensions we can count on. We cannot wait to halt global warming, and we cannot wait to find solutions for our war in Iraq.
I chose to run because I believed that the size of these challenges had outgrown the capacity of our broken and divided politics to solve them; because I believed that Americans of every political stripe were hungry for a new kind of politics, a politics that focused not just on how to win but why we should, a politics that focused on those values and ideals that we held in common as Americans; a politics that favored common sense over ideology, straight talk over spin.
Most of all, I believed in the power of the American people to be the real agents of change in this country — because we are not as divided as our politics suggests; because we are a decent, generous people willing to work hard and sacrifice for future generations; and I was certain that if we could just mobilize our voices to challenge the special interests that dominate Washington and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there was no problem we couldn’t solve — no destiny we couldn’t fulfill.
And on this very night, in Orem, you have vindicated that faith. You’ve come out in this evening not just to cheer, but to challenge — to ask the tough questions; to lift the hood and kick the tires; to serve as one place in America where someone who hasn’t spent their life in the Washington spotlight can get a fair hearing.
You’ve earned the role you play in our democracy because no one takes it more seriously. And I believe that’s true this year more than ever because, like me, you feel that same sense of urgency.
All across this community, you’ve shared with me your stories. And all too often they’ve been stories of struggle and hardship.
I’ve heard from employees who were betrayed by CEOs who laid them off while pocketing bonuses.
I’ve met Convergys workers who labored all they could only to see their jobs shipped overseas; who now compete with their teenagers for $6-an-hour jobs at Wal-Mart.
I’ve spoken with teachers who are working during the summer selling pest control just to make ends meet, who are still digging into their own pockets to pay for school supplies.
I’ve spoken to veterans who talk with pride about what they’ve accomplished in Afghanistan and Iraq, but who nevertheless think of those they’ve left behind and question the wisdom of our mission in Iraq; I have gone to Annual Patriotic Festival and have heard stories from Mothers weeping over the memories of their sons; the disabled or homeless vets who wonder why their service has been forgotten. I love this country and want its cherished values and ideals restored.
It is precisely because you’ve experienced these frustrations, and seen the cost of inaction in your own lives, that you understand why we can’t afford to settle for the same old politics. You know that we can’t afford to allow the insurance lobbyists to kill health care reform one more time, and the oil lobbyists to keep us addicted to fossil fuels because no one stood up and took their power away when they had the chance.
You know that we can’t afford four more years of the same divisive food fight in Washington that’s about scoring political points instead of solving problems; that’s about tearing your opponents down instead of lifting this country up.
We can’t afford to be so worried about losing the next election that we lose the battles we owe to the next generation.
The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result. And that’s a risk we can’t take. Not this year. Not when the stakes are this high.
In this election, it is time to turn the page. Tonight, it is time to stand for change.
This has been my message since the beginning of my efforts in to spread change. And it must be catching on, because in these last few days, everyone in this community has been talking about change.
My experience is rooted in the lives of the men and women who were seeking to unify common good things within multiple religions in the city of Los Angeles; in the Multicultural organization in LA. When I fought for leadership from a corrupted Police Force and asked respectfully that the Police Chief resign in good standing and bring in an expert to clean up the streets of Los Angeles. It’s experience rooted in the real lives of real people, and it’s the kind of experience Orem needs right now.
There are others in this race who say that this kind of change sounds good, but that I’m not angry or confrontational enough to get it done.
Well, let me tell you something, Orem. I don’t need any lectures on how to bring about change, because I haven’t just talked about it on the to you tonight. I’ve fought for change all my life.
My Mother raised me as a single parent. I’ve brought myself from poverty to a sense of reality that has only been possible through change.
That’s the kind of change that’s more than just rhetoric — that’s change you can believe in.
It’s change that won’t just come from more anger at Washington or turning up the heat on Democrats. There’s no shortage of anger and bluster and bitter partisanship out there. We don’t need more heat. We need more light. I’ve learned in my life that you can stand firm in your principles while still reaching out to those who might not always agree with you. And although the Democratic operatives in Washington might not be interested in hearing what we have to say, I think Democrat and independent voters outside of Washington are. That’s the once-in-a-generation opportunity we have in this election.
For the first time in a long time, we have the chance to build a new majority of not just Republicans, but independents and Democrats who’ve lost faith in their Washington leaders but want to believe again — who desperately want something new.
We can change the electoral math that’s been all about division and make it about addition — about building a coalition for change and progress that stretches through blue states and red states
In the end, the argument we are having between the candidates here is not just about the meaning of change. It’s about the meaning of hope. Some of my opponents appear scornful of the word; they think it speaks of naiveté, passivity and wishful thinking.
But that’s not what hope is. Hope is not blind optimism. It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task before us or the roadblocks that stand in our path. Yes, the lobbyists will fight us. Yes, the Democrat attack dogs will go after us in the here in Utah. Yes, the problems of poverty and climate change and failing schools will resist easy repair. I know — I’ve been on the streets; I’ve been in the courts. I’ve watched legislation die because the powerful held sway and good intentions weren’t fortified by political will, and I’ve watched a nation get misled into war because no one had the judgment or the courage to ask the hard questions before we sent our troops to fight.
But I also know this. I know that hope has been the guiding force behind the most improbable changes this country has ever made. In the face of tyranny, it’s what led a band of colonists to rise up against an Empire. In the face of slavery, it’s what fueled the resistance of the slave and the abolitionist, and what allowed a president to chart a treacherous course to ensure that the nation would not continue half slave and half free. In the face of war and Depression, it’s what led the greatest of generations to free a continent and heal a nation. In the face of oppression, it’s what led young men and women to sit at lunch counters and brave fire hoses and march through the streets of Selma and Montgomery for freedom’s cause. That’s the power of hope — to imagine, and then work for, what had seemed impossible before.
That’s the change we seek. And that’s the change you can stand for here tonight.
We’ve already beaten odds that the cynics said couldn’t be beaten. Just by standing here tonight at age 23, they said we couldn’t run a different kind of campaign.
They said we couldn’t be successful if we didn’t have the full support of the establishment here in Orem. But you can prove them wrong here tonight when we you cast your vote for me. This is a built grass-roots movement that could forever change the face of American politics.
And now, in tonight, you have a chance once again to prove the cynics wrong. In tonight’s vote, what was improbable has the chance to beat what this Community has said was inevitable
We’ve seen this script many times before. But I know that this time can be different.
Because I know that when the American people believe in something, it happens.
If you believe, then we can stop making promises to America’s workers and start delivering — jobs that pay, health care that’s affordable, pensions you can count on, and a tax cut for working Americans instead of the companies who send their jobs overseas.
If you believe, we can offer a world-class education to every child, and pay our teachers more, and make college dreams a reality for every American.
If you believe, we can save this planet and end our dependence on foreign oil.
If you believe, we can end this war, close Guantanamo, restore our standing, renew our diplomacy and once again respect the Constitution of the United States of America.
That’s the future within our reach. That’s what hope is — that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better is waiting for us around the corner. But only if we’re willing to work for it and fight for it. To shed our fears and our doubts and our cynicism. To glory in the task before us of remaking this country block by block, precinct by precinct, county by county, state by state.
There is a moment in the life of every generation when, if we are to make our mark on history, this spirit must break through.
This is the moment for the Republican Party.
This is our time.
And if you will stand with me in tonight — if you will stand for change so that your children have the same chance that somebody gave us; if you’ll stand to keep the American dream alive for those who still hunger for opportunity and thirst for justice; if you’re ready to stop settling for what the cynics tell you, you must accept, and finally reach for what you know is possible, then we will win this caucus, we will win this election, we will change the course of history, and the real journey — to heal a nation and repair the world — will have truly begun.
Thank you.
Keith Kuder
