List of Candidates for
CITY OF DES MOINES COUNCIL POS. NO. 01, 4 YR TERM

Richard Benjamin

    As a resident, I’m deeply concerned about problems we face in our city. As a candidate, I’m committed to correcting them. We must stop the third runway. We must increase support for Police in the fight against crime. I will vote to save your tax dollars and guard your money from wasteful spending. As a business owner, I understand fiscal responsibility. I know how to handle money and work with people. Our city council needs my real world experience.

    When elected, I will work hard to insure, City administration follows city council policy, City Council represents your interests and is accountable to YOU for its actions.

    This is a non-partisan position. Party politics should not belong here.

    I need your vote and your friends and neighbors votes to be elected.

ELECT RICHARD BENJAMIN

Dan Sherman

    Dan has lived in Des Moines for 26 years, devoting the past 12 years to public service. He helped establish a new tone of civil and thoughtful discussion to local government operations. In the past four years your city council has considered issues that will affect the daily lives of residents for many years to come such as the community/recreational center developing near the post office; the newly rezoned area on Pacific Highway; the battle to preserve our environment against the airport’s arrogance and wasteful spending; and the new Marina Master Plan.

    Dan’s overriding principles: preserve residential community life in Des Moines and continue to keep government open, accessible, and responsive. Challenges ahead include state budgetary cutbacks, seemingly endless transportation woes, and new demands on shoreline management. Dan’s experience will best represent you at the local and regional levels in the years ahead.
