Platform:
A Healthier Community for All;
Humans, Animals, and the Earth
Some of my main objectives will be to increase support for those experiencing homelessness, to lead the evolution of our municipal shelter and Chapter 23 ordinances to align with best practices in animal welfare, and to maximize efforts strengthening environmental sustainability.
What Sam Brings to the Table:
Non-Profit Background
Her entire professional career has been spent within the non-profit sector. Sam has worked for Iowa Humane Alliance, Willis Dady Homeless Services, and now works for the Utility Arborist Association.
Grant Writing
In her time as a non-profit professional, she has successfully earned over $100,000 in grant funding for diverse non-profits.
Community Outreach
Sam has witnessed first-hand the struggles of those doing their best with very few resources or access. She has successfully built trusting relationships with these populations and will work to see the inherent dignity and worth of every individual be recognized.
