Decisions made by the folks who sit on the Ames City Council influence the student and faculty experience in Ames. The Ames Council election is soon, and the at-large candidate who deserves your vote is Mike Miller. Mike Miller is one of the few candidates for council who actually owns a business, manages a payroll and has created jobs in Ames.

He has considerable experience as both a leader and an active participant in numerous civic non-profit organizations, so he knows how to get things done.

 Mark is committed to creating jobs that stay in the community, ensuring a vibrant arts and community activities agenda, fighting for the greening of Ames and strongly supporting social services and public safety and health programs. Mark will listen to your issues. Make time on Nov. 3 to make your mark for Miller.
