We are writing in support of Tom Wacha as our Ames City Council representative from Ward 1.

Tom has many qualities that will make him an excellent council member. At the top of the list is something very simple — his ability to listen.

Tom Wacha will represent the people of the 1st Ward. His thoughts, his ideas and his actions will be a voice for us. Ames is a great place to live, and Tom has a passion for making it even better.

He has a passion for growing our community, for strengthening our business climate, for encouraging development within the Ames Community School District and for helping our city government run more effectively.

On Tuesday, Nov. 3, choose Tom Wacha to be your Ward 1 representative on the Ames City Council. Let him be your voice for Ames City Government.

— Rod and Sandee Bodholdt are Ames residents
