Gross one of best officials in area

Although I have only lived in Coralville for a short time, I have been in the area for more than 20 years and I've had the opportunity to get to know numerous political leaders during that time. Mitch Gross stands out to me as one of the best elected officials in the area and I will be voting for him to be re-elected to the Coralville City Council.

In every instance that I've interacted with Mitch, he has been engaged in and open-minded about any issue that we've discussed and/or that I've seen him discuss with others (at council meetings, public forums, etc.). It is very clear that Mitch takes seriously his role of representative for the citizens of Coralville and doesn't perform this role with a preconceived opinion about items that come before the City Council for consideration.

I have been very impressed with Mitch's priority of making city government in Coralville more transparent and with his desire to involve residents even more with ongoing and future city projects.

Gross has done an excellent job in his first term on the council. I encourage Coralville voters to join me in electing Mitch to another term to continue the great work he has been doing for the city and its residents.
