Ad copy

I love Moline, and I'm asking for your vote to be our next alderman-at-large. When I see and feel the decline in services and the turmoil in city hall over the last four years, I know that we can do better. We need a vision for building up Moline, rather than focusing on how much we can make it smaller. We need to make fiscally responsible decisions and ensure our city is providing the amenities that matter for all residents. We need to work together to fulfill the promise of Moline. You can learn more about my vision for Moline on my website, or feel free to message me directly on Facebook. Election day is April 6 and early voting is open now. Please #VoteForChange in Moline. Vote for James Patrick Schmidt for alderman-at-large.
