September 2007: EJ Giovanetti
EJ Giovanetti represents portions of northwest Polk County on the Polk County Board of Supervisors, including Grimes, Johnston, Urbandale, and Ankeny. He also spent 20 years serving as mayor of Urbandale.
EJ addressed some of the main issues he believes will affect Polk County over the next 25 years, including the cost of the new county jail, the replacement (and/or expansion) of the county courthouse, and the need to keep development alive in the city of Des Moines so that it doesn't become fiscally unstable.
