Nick Duffy, candidate for one of two at-large seats, is a wonderful choice for our city council. He knows that Cedar Rapids deserves more than a council that begins to fray under pressure.
He understands that the city needs a strong voice that projects the thoughts of the residents, not the ideas of special interests. Duffy is the voice that we need to help lead our city into the future. Duffy is dedicated to meeting with neighborhood associations regularly to understand and voice the concerns and ideas of our city. He understands the need for Cedar Rapids to grow.
He is opposed to hiring outside contractors and consultants, instead knowing that there are strong minds and capable businesses here in Cedar Rapids that can be drawn on.
Please consider placing one of your votes for Duffy. He is the honest voice that this city needs.
