ACCOMPLISHMENTS

There have been several significant accomplishments during my years in office. Since I joined the Board, Johnson County has:

• Sucessfully dealt with flood response and recovery;
• Passed a Human Rights Ordinance, the first County in Iowa to do so;
• Passed a Sensitive Areas Ordinance, the first County in Iowa to do so;
• Joined the Sierra Club Cool Counties Initiative, the first County in Iowa to do so;
• Passed the Conservation Bond Initiative;
• Created a Trails Committee and for the first time created a line item for trails in the budget;
• Created a Commission for a Livable Community for Seniors;
• Instituted a highly successful Earned Income Tax Credit program;
• Dramatically increased funding for Shelter House;
• Begun a program for upgrading gravel roads to chip seal;
• Started work on Oakdale Boulevard between 12th Ave. & Dubuque St.

Many of these topics had been languishing for years. I promised to champion these issues, and I have delivered. Meanwhile, Johnson County continues to provide outstanding day-to-day services.

There is much more to do, however, and I would like to be a part of it. My top campaign issues for my next term are:

1. Work with cities for sensible TIF usage;
2. Improve rural housing conditions;
3. Increased support for Human Services

I hope I have earned your support as I pursue a third term. Serving as a County Supervisor is an incredible honor and privilege, and I truly appreciate the opportunities that have been given to me.
