Hemingway is the best pick for Johnson County supervisor

In the November 2020 general election Phil Hemingway ran for an open seat on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. Hemingway received 26,661 votes. Immediately prior to that election the registered Republicans totaled 18,092. That means at least 8,569 voters, who were not Republicans, recognized the merits of Hemingway's candidacy. It proves many voters are not enamored with big spending, heavy regulating policies of the current Supervisors.

I believe those voters were wise and fully aware of Hemingway's four years of service on the Iowa City School Board where his conservative ideology saved tax dollars.

Hemingway will be a proponent of law enforcement, first responders and agriculture interests. His conservative ideals will be in the best interests of businesses of all sizes.

Hemingway is a lifetime Johnson County farmer and small-business man. You will find he is very knowledgeable on issues of local government.

Hemingway has declared that when he is elected, he will vote against any pay increases for Supervisors' salary during his time in office. I doubt any Democrat candidate will tell you that.

If you appreciate politicians who have your best financial interests in mind, then please vote for Phil Hemingway.
