Why I’m running and my vision for Johnson County
“Growing up as a military child, I was fortunate enough to experience life in many different parts of the world, including Southern California, Japan, and Okinawa. These formative experiences have given me a unique and global perspective that I bring to my work. Having moved to North Liberty at 14 and settled in Iowa City at 17, I have now lived in Johnson County for most of my life. Over the last 26 years, I have experienced our community from many different angles: as a student, a small business owner, a single parent, a public assistance recipient, a domestic violence survivor, and a University of Iowa employee. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the struggles faced by our community members, as well as the services that are available to support them.
I am proud to have served as a City of Iowa City Climate Ambassador, Iowa City Community Police Review Board (CPRB) Chair, and University of Iowa Safety and Security Committee Chair. Currently, I serve as the Vice Chair of the University of Iowa Council on the Status of Women, placing me at the heart of DEI leadership at the University as part of the University of Iowa DEI Success Collaborative. This collaborative focuses on information sharing, partnership opportunities, skill building/education, and institutional change. Additionally, I am the Founder and Director of the Corridor Community Action Network (CCAN), an organization committed to facilitating resident participation and empowerment in the Iowa Corridor. Through CCAN, we’ve actively taken steps to promote individual and community equity, enhancing the overall quality of life. Our initiatives encompass policy and advocacy work, service projects, volunteer efforts, and the formation of alliances, partnerships, and coalitions with other organizations.
As a county supervisor, I will continue to build on these experiences, listening to residents and working closely with allies and partners to maximize our impact and improve the quality of life for all in Johnson County. I am committed to amplifying the voices of those who are often marginalized and ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community.”

“Our county would be incredibly fortunate to have a leader as dedicated and passionate about creating more access to basic rights, such as high-quality affordable housing, medical services, and transportation as Mandi.”
V Fixmer-Oraiz, Johnson County Supervisor
“Johnson County will be best served with Mandi’s election to the Board of Supervisors. What sets her candidacy apart is her willingness to do the work. Supervisor is not a role anyone can walk into and execute at a high level. It takes work. And I’m confident Mandi will do that work, while continuing to live and embody the values we hold dear.”
Jon Green, Johnson County Supervisor
“Mandi is extremely dedicated to bettering our Community and this passion would be an excellent addition to the Board of Supervisors”
Sikowis, MA, Executive Director, Great Plains Action Society
“I would like people of her prolific skills and devotion to be in the leadership role in our community”
Hani Elkadi MD, PHD, Former College of Medicine and ICCSD educator
“Johnson County needs Mandi Remington. She brings personal experience and perspectives that have long been missing from our highest leadership. And her work ethic is unmatched! I’m proud to support Mandi.”
Laura Bergus, Iowa City city council member
