Tanner Bennett is a 24-year-old BYU student running for a seat on the Provo City Council, utilizing some unorthodox campaign methods along the way.
PROVO — Tanner Bennett was at home helping his pregnant wife switch out an IV bag to help with her hyperemesis when, while scrolling through her emails, his wife mentioned that the filing period for Provo City Council candidates was closing.
Still, it was the thought of "what if" that kept the joke Bennett's sister-in-law made lingering in his ear. She told him to go for it and, on Father's Day, the soon-to-be father gifted himself by filing as a candidate for Provo's City Council and announced his campaign for its Citywide II seat as a moderate independent.Beyond his age and status as a college student, Bennett's grassroots campaign is unique for two reasons. First, he's running a $0 campaign — not accepting donations and is instead encouraging people to donate or give back to the community.
While Bennett isn't accepting money for his campaign, he's currently running a food and hygiene product drive for disadvantaged community members. Hygiene products can be donated at 229 E. 900 South, in Provo, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday., and also dropped off at the Community Action Services and Food Bank at 815 S. Freedom Boulevard in Provo.
