It s just another perspective that hasn t been there, and I think that, as the second-largest municipality (in the county), it would be good to have somebody that has that perspective, Foster said of the June 8 special election that will fill the seat vacated 21 months early by Janelle Rettig.
Foster is the community engagement coordinator for the Domestic Violence Intervention Program and teaches in the University of Iowa School of Journalism and Mass Communication. She is the vice chairwoman on the board of directors for the Coralville Community Food Pantry.
