From Alex Kuhn:
It has been a true honor and privilege to serve as your At-Large City Councilman for the past four years. After thoughtful consideration with family, friends, and colleagues I have determined that I am ready to put my experience and passion for Mason City to work for you again and I have decided to run for another four year term on the Mason City, City Council.
Mason City has made great strides in recent years and we are often referred to by our neighbors around the State as a ‘Community on the Move’. I am proud to have put in the hard work towards many of our communities recent successes including:
– Successful application to the State of Iowa for Mason City’s $36M downtown redevelopment project.
– Championed passage of Disorderly Premise Ordinance and enhancing public safety in our neighborhoods.
– Lead Smoke-Free Kids Playgrounds Resolution.
– New 145 Acre Shovel-Ready Industrial Site in Mason City.
– New Dog Park, Award Winning Bicycle/Pedestrian Trails Plan, BlueZones TM.
– $125 million dollars in business expansions and new tax revenue.
– Held the line on taxes – lowered city levy two of the last three years.
My record also shows I will stand up to ensure working class families in Mason City are given every opportunity to succeed and that our city services are upheld at a high level moving forward.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us and I am up for the challenge. Today I am asking for your support. Together we can continue to build on our strengths and make Mason City one of the most desirable places to in Iowa to live, work, and raise a family.
