Lundell has best qualifications for Coralville mayor

John Lundell's dedication to public service, graduate training in urban and regional planning, professional background, and Coralville service qualify him as the best candidate for Coralville's mayor.

Lundell is the deputy director of the UI's Prevention Research Center. He also served as director of transportation planning for JCCOG, and director of the Iowa City Transit system.

His energy and community spirit are evident in his volunteer work, including the Coralville Library Board, Coralville Volunteer Fire Department, and on the boards of the Iowa Firefighters Memorial Park and Iowa City Crisis Center. He is the treasurer of the Iowa Public Health Association, chair of the American Public Health Association Injury Control and Emergency Health Services Section, and vice-chair of the Johnson County Metropolitan Planning Organization.

During his 10 years on the Coralville City Council, he has supported projects including: flood mitigation, public safety services, expanded biking/walking trails, the new youth sports park, community gardens, the Coralville Center for Performing Arts, conversion of a brownfield area to the Iowa River Landing District, and partnership with UI in the new UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HOSPITALS AND CLINICS clinic at Iowa River Landing.

We moved our residence and law office to the IRL in 2010, because we believe in and share the vision of a vibrant Coralville community demonstrated by Lundell, Kelly Hayworth, Jim Faucett, and the Coralville City Council.
