Monica Vernon will help lead Cedar Rapids to a progressive future.

Cedar Rapids needs involved, dynamic, concerned citizens who are willing to step forward and help lead our city into the future. Monica Vernon is one of those people who are willing to explore the issues, search for options and move forward with recommendations for action.

I have seen Vernon invest personal time on weekends to help struggling organizations talk about challenges and form plans to strengthen and grow.

As City Council representative for the District 2, she can help Cedar Rapids do the same.

Her history of involvement in numerous organizations from Rotary to Junior League to Fifteen in 5 shows she has the energy and drive to stay involved.

Vernon has stepped forward to ask for an opportunity to help lead Cedar Rapids and we can support this dedication to doing with our vote for Vernon.
