Mims’ qualities suit leadership

As a longtime resident of Iowa City, I've always taken a keen interest in city government.
We're blessed to live in one of the finest communities anywhere, and this is in no small part because of the quality of our city government and dedication of city council members.
Susan Mims has a productive history of service to our community, first on the school board and for the past four years as a stellar council member. I strongly support her re-election, based on her past performance. For instance, our city enjoys an AAA bond rating, a result of sound fiscal policies supported by Mims. She exhibits the honesty and integrity necessary for extraordinary performance on behalf of us. Her decisions are based on the courage of her convictions, and her judgments result from hard work and commitment to the people of Iowa City.
