There’s a flock of robins migrating through, and their songs this warm November morning is just what I needed to be reminded again, always: the only constant is change. Choose love and find common ground, the rest is just noise.

@BuckyStockwell2 They’re loud. And they support the eggtriarchy. #hensonly

[Laura Bergus @lbergus]

Even my brief time in politics has shown me that people have a million times more energy for bullshit than they do for coming together to make positive change on the 99% of what we agree on. Let’s keep rocking the boat. I’ve got your life vest right here. https://t.co/tzZT7XOHD0

Polls are open across Iowa for city and school board elections until 8 pm. Remember to bring some form of voter ID. If you have moved since you last voted, bring ID and proof of address (something like a utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement).

Love seeing two great candidates in today’s election attend this event, Mandi Remington and Mitch Lingo

I've gotten to know a bit about #IowaCity during the last 3 years. A complex, vibrant community, where beauty and poetry coexist with grievance and trauma.
@lbergus is a champion for healing and constructive discourse. What a privilege for local democracy to have such candidates.

[Laura Bergus @lbergus]

@modestholdings Thanks, Supervisor.

[Laura Bergus @lbergus]

Eep, that’s @IowaCitySchools board, sorry random other account!

[Laura Bergus @lbergus]

Grateful for this context today, as my phone blows up with people asking what's going on with our mayor. I can't answer that, but here's what I can say: 1/21

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

A COMPETITION FOR A - It's hard to get a statewide audience interested in a local race.

But one I've been hearing a ton about is the matchup for District A. A quiet incumbent is getting a serious challenge from another councilor who decided to run against her. 1/9

[Laura Bergus @lbergus]
