Being an effective leader in city government requires a variety of talents and skills. The ability to listen carefully in order to make thoughtful decisions is a necessity. This is what Matt Hayek does. As an Iowa City resident who frequents City Council meetings, I've observed numerous ways that Hayek demonstrates his strong leadership.
As a resident of southeast Iowa City, I appreciate strong commitment to our Iowa City neighborhoods. An example of that commitment is his support of the new model for the placement of affordable housing within Iowa City. Our community is a better place due to his leadership.
