On election day, we will be enthusiastically casting our votes for Dr. Rick Dobyns to represent our district on the City Council of Iowa City. Having known Rick for a number of years and having had the privilege of working with him in several civic endeavors, we know that he is a highly qualified and effective community leader.
Rick has a demonstrated ability to carefully analyze issues and problems and then develop innovative responses which lead to the strength and betterment of our community. He works in a collaborative manner with others and is able to truly listen to the concerns of citizens and council members alike. A compassionate and skilled physician, Rick will bring his evaluative and diagnostic skills to bear on the economic and development challenges which face Iowa City.
