Why I'm running for City Council. As a Coralville resident and a Realtor serving many in this community since 2019, I am deeply connected to the voices and needs of our city. I believe this experience allows me to be an effective sounding board for our community.
My wife, Katie, and I are both proud Iowans, and we are blessed with two children who are actively involved in various community activities. I am also a proud graduate of the University of Iowa. In my profession, clients entrust me with one of the most significant purchases of their lives. I am eager to extend that trust and dedication to further enrich our community and serve as a reliable source of information for the people of our great city.
Derick Schroeder is a candidate for Coralville City Council.
