Poe’s experience is the difference

I support Ann Poe for Cedar Rapids City Council at-large. As our local contact for the Rebuild Iowa Office, Ann showed that she had the experience, insight and leadership to help Cedar Rapids recover from the flood disaster. Ann is ready to continue her efforts in making Cedar Rapids a great place to live and work by being a councilperson.
During the flood recovery effort, Ann spent countless hours listening to the concerns of our citizens and communicated our needs to the governor and state officials, and in turn, she helped us understand and negotiate the requirements of the recovery programs.
As a councilperson, Ann will continue to listen to our concerns, spend the time necessary to research and understand the issues and clearly voice her opinion at the council meetings. Ann is asking for our vote so that she can continue to serve the citizens of Cedar Rapids.
