Driving around my lovely town of Coralville, I see a thriving, charming, clean and well-maintained place. Coralville has cultural opportunities, amenities, and activities that far surpass expectations for a town of 20,000 residents. As I dine in our restaurants and shop in our stores, it is clear that Coralville draws people from all around the area, throughout the state, and beyond. I thank our city's leaders for this inviting environment.
John Lundell is a valuable member of our city's leadership team. Through his 10 years of service on the City Council and past six years as mayor pro-tem, John has gained the knowledge and experience needed to be an effective mayor. In addition to his service on the City Council, he has demonstrated commitment to Coralville as a volunteer firefighter and 20-year member of the city's library board. As mayor, he will continue Coralville's tradition of excellence. He is a collaborator and problem solver, and his style is one of building bridges rather than pointing fingers. I strongly endorse Lundell for Coralville mayor.
