<br />
“As Mayor, I have balanced six straight budgets and I will bring fiscal responsibility with me to the Iowa House. As a father and grandfather, I know many middle class families are struggling to make ends meet and I will focus my efforts on strengthening and expanding Iowa’s middle class,” said Sullivan.<br />
<br />
In addition to serving as Mayor, Sullivan has been on the Windsor Heights City Council and served as a Vice Chair of the Metro Waste Authority and the Metro Advisory County. He is also a board member of the Metro Planning Organization and Convention and Visitors Bureau. A former small business owner, Sullivan also formed the first chamber of commerce in Windsor Heights. <br />
<br />
“With 38 years of business experience in our community, I understand how critical it is to keep our talented young people here. We need to improve the quality of life, keep education affordable, and create good-paying jobs if we want to keep our children and grandchildren in Iowa,” added Sullivan.<br />
<br />
Sullivan and his wife, Christy, have been married for 35 years and have three children and two grandchildren. He served in the US Army Reserves and is currently a Senior Financial Representative at Principal Financial Group. He is also a member of the Windsor Heights Lions Club and St. Theresa’s Church. <br />
<br />
“My experience in both business and government has prepared me well to make a difference at the Statehouse. We must work together across party lines and listen to Iowans, not special interests, to make our state a better place to live,” concluded Sullivan.<br />
<br />
Rep. Dan Clute of Clive currently holds the seat but announced last year that he will not seek re-election this fall.<br />
