Letter: Qualifications of Chuck Jons for Ames Council
November 6, 2011
I was delighted to learn that Chuck Jons is running for a 4th Ward seat on the Ames City Council. I know Chuck to be a seasoned leader. I know his work style to be reasoned, collaborative, always welcoming the views of others. I know he is a person of great integrity.
The qualification that sets Chuck apart from other candidates is his nearly 40-year investment of time and talent in the Ames community, having served on many local boards and committees benefiting our youth and adults. Noting that he sees in Ames a potential for healthy growth just reaffirms my support.
We have been well-served by Riad Mahayni, and Chuck Jons will follow that tradition of thoughtful leadership. Please join me in voting for Chuck Jons Nov. 8.
