In Their Own Words: Do you plan on voting in the Iowa City City Council elections?

City elections are Nov. 7. In Iowa City, five candidates will compete for three four-year terms on the City Council, three hopefuls for two at-large seats and two for the District B seat. We asked people on campus, “Do you know anything about the City Council candidates, and do you plan on voting?”

“I don’t really know anything about it, because I’ve been so busy with classes. I don’t know, I haven’t seen any posters or anything.”

Tiffany Bui
