Broad support highlights Mandi Remington’s quality

Mandi Remington, Iowa City Council candidate, has attracted endorsements from local, state, and national groups and individuals. These endorsements help voters learn about her excellent work and the policies she is pursuing.

Elinor Levin and V Fixmer-Oraiz are local elected officials supporting Mandi because they know her personal story and her advocacy for those on the margins in Iowa City. Sikowis Nobiss and Jenny Britton are residents who have worked alongside Mandi in local groups dedicated to addressing concerns such as truth and reconciliation, police reform, civil rights, food security, affordable housing, and other causes. Mandi also has the support of Hani Elkadi, who has known her since she was a young teen.

SEIU, the union for UI Hospital nurses and other employees, endorsed Remington because she is committed to policies that support local workers. The Iowa Democratic Party Progressive Caucus and Iowa Unity Coalition are statewide groups that know Mandi’s work as founder of Corridor Community Action Network, organizing locally to strengthen community and support people in need.

Mandi is the only candidate to win endorsements from national groups, including Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and Run For Something. Not only does Remington share their progressive policies, but they know her work. MoveOn also recognized her advocacy by awarding her with a full scholarship to their recent 25th anniversary summit.

I encourage you to follow the advice of these endorsers and vote for Mandi Remington for City Council.
