I'm proud to have the support of many friends and organizations for this campaign. Here is a short list of supporters:
The Honorable Marti Anderson, Former State Representative (D)
"I proudly endorse Rob X. Barron for the Ward 1 seat on the Des Moines City Council. He is a proven leader committed to exceptional service and passionate about equitable government that serves everyone. In 2013, Rob was the first Latino ever elected to office in Polk County, serving eight years on the Des Moines School Board. He volunteers his problem-solving expertise on many boards and initiatives that improve our community. Rob will bring an important perspective and voice for diversity to the Des Moines City Council. He will help make Des Moines a great place to live, raise a family, work, and retire."
Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 33
"Plumbers & Steamfitters Local #33 wholeheartedly endorse Rob Barron for Des Moines City Council. Rob’s strong advocacy for unions and their commitment to both workers' rights and initiatives that benefit the community demonstrates a well-rounded dedication to fostering fair labor practices and makes him an excellent choice for representing the great city of Des Moines." - Andy Roberts
Mike Draper, Founder and Owner of Raygun
"I see so much potential for Des Moines. Landscapes are shifting, certainly, but that can mean new lanes are open for a mid-size city to lead. However, I think we are going to need new leaders with new ideas to really see those new lanes. Rob has come up through our community and worked to lead some of our institutions -- like the school system. He is the kind of person we'll need to turn the page and capitalize on what's next."
