Hayek has shown his effectiveness in I.C.

We are facing serious economic and social problems at local, national and global levels, particularly at the local level. The election of strong public officials is critically important.

We encourage you to support Matt Hayek for the Iowa City Council. He is effectively leading our council as mayor. Matt has the skills combined with personal integrity to lead us through difficult times. As a small-business owner in downtown, Matt understands the fiscal operations and incentives for economic development. As a past president of the Englert Theatre and Peace Corps volunteer, he understands the value of the arts and social development. Matt continues to work through tough decisions for balancing our city budget. He listens carefully to students and longtime residents alike, by hosting public hearings on creating bar-entry and other ordinances that improve our city.

We need intelligent, caring and strong leadership now. Vote Hayek.
