CCI Action endorses Chelsea Lepley for DSM!
At CCI Action we believe in doing politics differently. That means using elections to advance our key issue campaigns and supporting candidates who believe, like we do, that we need to put people and the planet first, and supporting candidates who understand that change comes from the bottom up.
That’s why we’re excited to announce our endorsement of Chelsea Lepley for Des Moines City Council Ward 2!
We know the solutions to the issues we face come from those who experience them every day. Lepley (they/she) has been organizing with her neighbors and with CCI Action for many years to uplift the voices and the stories in her community, and we know she’ll take that energy into office with her.
"Chelsea Lepley is a leader in our community who is committed to working with her neighbors to make life a whole lot better for more people. CL knows we need someone representing Ward 2 who will work with groups like CCI Action to put people before profits, and she's committed to doing it." - Cherie Mortice, CCI Action Board President, Ward 2 resident.
We are excited to get to work electing Lepley, but in the meantime, we will continue to engage and push all the other candidates in the Mayoral and City Council races on our issues. Stay tuned for updates on a potential candidate forum!
