Dodds will help Coralville grow properly

I support Jill Dodds for the Coralville City Council.
I first met Jill when my children joined Simple Abundance, an early care and education program operated by Jill and husband, Jeff Dodds. I soon realized that this was not only a business, but also a passion of theirs.
Jill is continually finding different ways to help children prepare for kindergarten, while encouraging enthusiasm about the world around them. It is this enthusiasm and dedication for our Coralville community that solidified my support for Jill's campaign.
Jill has been an active participant in City Council meetings and work sessions for the past few years and is a dynamic volunteer within our community. She is dedicating 100 percent of the campaign contributions she receives to the Coralville Ecumenical Food Pantry.
She understands the needs of our citizens and encourages an interactive, open government by taking every view into account before making a decision. With Jill as a city council member, we will see Coralville make the necessary steps for growth, without jeopardizing our economic stability.
Visit Jill's website at www.doddsforcouncil.com to learn more about her campaign and join me by voting for Jill on Tuesday.
