One More in the Race for Iowa City Council

Two time City Council candidate, Brandon Ross, is planning to throw his hat in the City Council at-large race. He is collecting his final signatures to be on the ballotHe with Mike Wright, Terry Smith, Dee VanderHoef, Matt Hayek, and Tim Judd who have all previously declared their candidacy. Ross, who has done well in the past, will have significant hurdles to overcome to get his message out in this field.

As our mutual friend Julie Spears once said of Brandon, "He believes strongly in walkable neighborhoods, where people have safe sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, and access to affordable housing, transportation, and grocery stores. He cares about people being able to find a place to live, work, play, and get around town safely without throwing the city's tax dollars away on wasteful high-end projects calling it economic development."
