Iowa City’s five City Council candidates differ little in their progressive stances on pertinent local issues, such as affordable housing and public trans- portation. However, what sets them apart is not only the level of comprehen- siveness in which they ap- proach these issues, but also their knowledge of and ability to collaborate with our diverse community. There are two open- ings for the at-large seats, and the candidates running are incumbent Kingsley Botchway, activist Mazahir Salih, and current Night- time Mayor Angela Winni- ke. University of Iowa stu- dent Ryan Hall is running against current Councilor Susan Mims for the District B seat. After careful consid- eration, the DI Editorial Board has decided to en- dorse Mazahir Salih, King- sley Botchway, and Susan Mims for the City Council. Botchway fully embod- ies a slogan he expressed at a candidate forum on Oct. 26: “Be informed, and James Year/The Daily Iowan seek solutions.” One major Iowa City activist Mazahir Salih announced her candidacy for the Iowa City Council at the Robert A.

The Iowa football team celebrated a major upset win, routing No. 3 Ohio State, 55-24. After having a tough time putting together points in four of the last five games, the Hawkeye offense looked close to perfect. The defense and special teams also had great games, and the combination of all three phases of Iowa’s game was deadly for the Buckeyes, which dropped their second game of the season and are likely out of College Football Playoff contention. Iowa’s win earned No. 25 in the AP Poll.
