Experience, leadership makes Lyness the choice

In Tuesday's Democratic primary I hope you will vote to retain Janet Lyness for Johnson County Attorney.
I have overseen the operation of the Johnson County Jail for the last nine-plus years. The average daily inmate population has decreased over the last two fiscal years by almost 20 inmates a day. You can thank the leadership of Lyness for this. Her progressive attitude and willingness to implement programs that work to reduce the inmate population should be applauded. She has been a leader among all county attorneys in Iowa by thinking outside of the box when it comes to jail overcrowding.
Please do not throw all that experience away.
