Mims able to solve complex problems

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Jeff Tecklenburg.

I am supporting Susan Mims for city council. Susan has lived in Iowa City for 30 years, and I have been her neighbor for much of that time.

The opportunities and challenges Iowa City will face in the upcoming years are large and complex. One of the most important characteristics a representative will need is the ability to look at a complex problem, seek out expert advice and translate that information into reasonable, effective solutions. Mims’ training in engineering and her experience as a financial planner amply illustrate this characteristic.

Our representatives also will need a vision of Iowa City that protects what is good, while keeping pace with a rapidly changing world. Mims has demonstrated a commitment to public service, a vision for Iowa City and a particular recognition of the importance of education in our community.
