Creating a Movement vs Running For Office

I am incredibly excited as I look over my community website. Cheryl Boots, a local website developer has come through in a major way?! Kudos to Cheryl and her creativity.

When I talk about "Hart For Cedar Rapids", I talk about a much larger canvas than a political campaign. Political campaign serve to promote a person, their ideas and solutions and seek to convince you to cast a vote for an individual. What I hope to achieve really has more to do with creating a citizen movement.

Movements are not dependent on the charisma of an individual. Movements are about living, breathing groups of people who share a dance with a specific purpose. In this case, the purpose is to ignite a passion for citizen involvement in all areas of the corridor!

We talk about innovation as though it is a new thing. Cedar Rapidians have always innovated. The people of Cedar Rapids are talented, gifted and passionate about the communities they live, work and play in.

Listening to all of the voices allows us as a community to grow and learn from each other. Please join me as I spend time listening and learning from our greatest resource, our people!
