I encourage others to join me in supporting Jarrett Mitchell in his run for Iowa City Council, at-large seat. Jarrett is the only candidate running on a sustainability platform. He has stated clearly his support for backyard chickens, urban gardening and bicycling.
As the proprietor of Wake Up Iowa City, a business which began as a coffee cart parked outside 30th Century Bicycles, and which is now thriving as a coffee bar inside the White Rabbit shop on Linn Street, Jarrett has unique insight into how city government policies can impact small homegrown businesses.
I believe Jarrett's vision for the future matches the values of Iowa City residents who seek to enhance neighborhoods, support downtown businesses, increase bicycle ridership and encourage backyard gardening.
I will be voting for Matt Hayek, a tested leader, and Jarrett Mitchell, a future one.
