Rod Sullivan is a Democrat serving on Johnson County's Board of Supervisors. He is a genuinely good public official and puts it on the line for the progressive values he holds. Rod was largely responsible for the human rights ordinance passing in Johnson County (though now that the state has followed suit, we'll call it "all good"). Rod also puts out a weekly newsletter called Sullvan's Salvos. E-mail him if you'd like to be on his list.
As I mentioned in an earlier column, Rod was at the NAMI Walk and the Crisis Center breakfast on Saturday. As a social worker, Rod genuinely cares about what happens to people and having adequate services for them. Beyond that, he can be seen riding bikes with his daughters and wife.
He does good work and oddly enough because the county seat is in Iowa City, most of what he does goes largely unnoticed--owing to better coverage of the city council happenings than the county stuff.
He's a guy to watch in the future--Governor Sullivan, I like the ring of that...
