Rettig Has More She Wants to Accomplish; Will Run for Re-election

 

 

IOWA CITY.   Johnson County Supervisor Janelle Rettig will run for re-election to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.

 

“I am proud of my role in the accomplishments of the Board of Supervisors while I have been in office.  We have built six solar projects, increased programs and funding for mental health/disability services and for those living in poverty.  We have improved our infrastructure by building roads, bridges, trails and paved shoulders, and we have invested in affordable housing — all while creating a finance department, balancing every budget, and lowering the overall County debt,” said Rettig.

 

“In addition, we have increased sustainability, raised the minimum wage, and implemented a Community ID system.  However, there is so much more I want to accomplish.  I want to create a center for Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) and continue jail alternative programming; redevelop County property downtown to include substantial affordable housing; reduce County greenhouse gas emissions, improve sustainability, fight for clean air and water, and so much more.” 

 

“In the past eight years, I have worked every day to reflect the progressive values of the people of Johnson County.  None of this happens in a vacuum.  It takes leadership, innovation, vision, determination, teamwork and sometimes courage.  I am a strong Supervisor who never stops thinking and learning.  I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and try new things, and I never stop trying to make our County a better, healthier and more welcoming community for all.”

 

Rettig is a graduate of Knox College.  She has lived in Iowa City for over twenty eight years, with her spouse, Robin Butler.  They are involved with numerous non-profits, are activists, avid bicyclists, and ride a Harley.  They are also kept busy with their very energetic Border Collie, CJ.
