Mandi Remington

Mandi Remington is a Democratic county supervisor in Johnson County, Iowa, known for her advocacy of guaranteed income programs aimed at alleviating poverty. She has been vocal about the challenges faced by local governments in implementing such initiatives due to state-level restrictions. Remington argues that these restrictions hinder local control and prevent effective policies from being enacted, particularly in blue areas of a predominantly red state. Her efforts to introduce a guaranteed income pilot program were thwarted by recent legislation prohibiting local governments from establishing cash assistance programs.
