Mike Carberry made an immediate difference when he was elected to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in 2014. His vote was decisive in passing a minimum wage ordinance, the Community ID and stopping urban sprawl in the North Corridor and preserving farm land.
Mike has continued to make a difference by helping small farmers with plans for a food hub, supporting a local foods coordinator position and exploring incubator plots at the County Poor Farm. Mike’s expertise in clean water and renewable energy has led to several county projects already and there are more planned.
We need Mike’s leadership to keep his progressive policies moving the county forward. But the progress the county has made can be reversed by electing candidates who won’t tell you much about their policies.
When a candidate proudly says “I have no agenda,” you can be sure they have a specific agenda of conserving the status quo and keeping established powers in control. Offering platitudes without policies tears down our electoral system.
Mike Carberry gives voters the opportunity to build on the progress we have made and build momentum for more to come. Let’s keep moving Johnson County moving forward by voting for Carberry on or before June 5.
Carberry is a narcissist, sexist weasel and a shitty manager. His life’s work WAS in renewable energy until he crippled I-Renew by applying the aforementioned qualities. Now he talks about food despite knowing jack and shit about food policy, systems or practices because he fucked up his previous career. He and Rettig are each a hostile work environment on two legs.
