Payne’s common sense, maturity good for I.C.

I'm voting for Michelle Payne for one of the Iowa City Council at-large positions in the Nov. 8 election.

Michelle has the maturity, experience and common sense. She is ready, willing and able to work on the progress of Iowa City. As a fellow resident of Iowa City's east side and working mother of two children, Michelle is fully aware that the same financial problems facing families and homeowners is also an increasingly serious problem for city government.

Setting priorities based on needs, such as public safety and city infrastructure, is what Michelle says local governments must do. She also places a high priority on working cooperatively and productively with governing bodies for the county, neighboring cities and, of course, our schools.

Please vote for Michelle Payne for one of the at-large City Council seats. Having Michelle on our City Council for the next four years will be a step forward for Iowa City and the surrounding community.
