Vernon will give full effort to Cedar Rapids council
Reprinted from The Gazette, Tuesday, October 9, 2007, page 4A

I worked directly with Monica Vernon and Vernon Research Group on many difficult and complex issues over the past six years. I have experienced firsthand Vernon’s great leadership qualities that will make her an excellent Cedar Rapids City Council representative for District 2.

Vernon is a great listener and hears what people are truly communicating. She immediately demonstrates respect for others by letting them know what she thinks they are saying. Vernon is a great problem solver because of her communication skills. She asks the right questions and quickly identifies core problems.

Vernon’s thoughtful analysis of issues has been impressive. She combines rational thought with progressive, outof-the-box approaches to figure out the next successful step.

Her commitment to the success of Cedar Rapids was a constant throughout every project we worked on.

She always made the time to fulfill her duties on the Planning and Zoning Committee or in her leadership roles with the Chamber of Commerce, yet she still delivered quality projects on time in our business endeavors.

I am convinced that Monica Vernon would be a great leader on the Cedar Rapids City Council. She already has been a great leader in the Cedar Rapids community and in business. Vote for Vernon for committed, experienced and involved leadership.
