As pastor at St. Thomas More Church in Coralville the past 13 years, I wish to endorse parishioner and friend John Lundell, whom I have known during that time, for mayor. Lundell has served actively and diligently in service to our faith community, assisting as a member of the planning committee in making the transition to our present site.
He has served on our pastoral and finance councils, wood-crafted some of the furniture and display items in our church, demonstrated an excellent command of written and vocal communication skills and works well with people. Most of all, his enthusiasm for the city of Coralville comes across markedly in obvious excitement about his work as a member of the city council.
I stand with those who are proud of the accomplishments and progress achieved by Lundell and the Coralville council and administration. Their vision and courageous development plan has brought forth a thriving and optimistic future for the city and the larger area community.
The Rev.
