I am writing in support of Chuck Jons for Ames City Council in the 4th Ward. I have known Chuck since moving to Ames in the early 1980s. Chuck is experienced, well rounded, and he has no ax to grind. He is smart, he is a good listener, and he cares about all of Ames. Chuck supports growth, protecting the environment and social services. He believes government should be transparent, and he believes Ames and Iowa State University must work together. I lived in the 4th Ward for 28 years and cannot think of a better person to represent the citizens of the 4th Ward and indeed all of the citizens of Ames. I urge you to vote for Chuck Jons for 4th Ward councilman in the run off election Dec. 6.
