Why I Voted for Amy Hospodarsky

I posted this back on Oct. 6 on social media, but failed to add it here. Early voting is going on Nov. 1, 2 and 3, and Election Day is Nov. 4, 2025.

The choice is so clear for the Iowa City Council District B seat on Nov. 4: Amy Hospodarsky.

As a fellow lover of Iowa City, my path has crossed Amy’s many times, in ways both personal and professional. I know her best through our overlapping board service, first with The Englert Theatre and currently with the South of 6 Iowa City Business District.

I’ve come to know her as the person who will ask the important questions, say the hard thing, and make sure there is accountability for follow through.

Just showing up to meetings and voting isn’t enough. No matter what a candidate claims, it’s not action. We need people who will champion action that advances our shared values and make decisions based on facts, not allegiances. Amy Hospodarsky is one of those people, and I’m proud to vote for her for Iowa City Council.
