Tiffany O’Donnell and I share a few things. We both came from Italian immigrants, we believe in the power of entrepreneurs and small businesses and we know that Cedar Rapids’ best days must be ahead of us.
As one of the founders of RuffaloCODY, I’ve been fortunate to be part of Cedar Rapids rich entrepreneurial history. Tiffany wants to make sure that Cedar Rapids builds on that rich tradition and provides opportunities for the next great Cedar Rapids company. In addition, as a granddaughter of immigrants, Tiffany understands the imperative to find a seat at the table for all. She and I have had many frank conversations about making sure our city has a constant eye on inclusion and diversity. Because of these and many more reasons, I am voting for Tiffany O’Donnell for mayor on Nov. 2. I encourage you to join me in supporting her vision for a better and brighter Cedar Rapids.
