CEDAR RAPIDS — A tumultuous third year of Mayor Brad Hart’s first term — marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, civil unrest and the derecho — didn’t steer the city’s top elected official from seeking re-election. Hart announced Tuesday he will run for a second four-year term in November, where he and the nine-member part-time City Council will grapple with helping the community recover from those disasters and advancing diversity, equity and inclusion for all residents. “We survived quite a year together. Cedar Rapids has, once again, proven its resilience,” Hart said in a news release. “The strength and compassion I saw displayed over the last year has impressed and inspired me. It has been an honor to serve as Mayor and, with the support of the community, I want to continue to serve everyone in Cedar Rapids for another term.”
