This is our wake-up call! Do you want to settle for good, or do you want great?! Now is the time to make the change, and vote for true leadership in Cedar Rapids.
I’m writing this letter in support of Tiffany O’Donnell for mayor of Cedar Rapids. Tiffany is my one and only sister, and I grew up with her in the same house for the first 24 years of my life. I know her integrity, her compassion for people, enthusiasm and passion for our community, and her unique empathy for those that meet the challenges.
Here are three things that differentiate her from the other candidates running for mayor:
1. Her boundless enthusiasm and energy for Cedar Rapids. Just spend 5 minutes in a room with Tiffany, and her excitement about this community is contagious.
2. In her heart, she wants to elevate Cedar Rapids and give this city the best chance for success possible.
3. She is the best representative as an ambassador to Cedar Rapids, and truly cares about all citizens and their welfare.
Tiffany is a true leader and will do what it takes to lead Cedar Rapids in the right direction! Her experience, vision, and energy will power growth and make a difference in the trajectory of our wonderful community.
She will always be my sister, and Cedar Rapids will always be her home.
Please join me in voting for Tiffany O’Donnell on Nov. 2. She will make a difference in your life here!
