Bold Strategies for a Vibrant City

Bold Strategies for a Vibrant City


I am Dustin Harris.
I was born in Council Bluffs and spent most of my childhood here. I grew up in a “Project 235” house in one of the old West End neighborhoods. I was educated here and began my career here.
Council Bluffs is in my blood. Serving this community is all I’ve ever wanted to do.
I joined the Council Bluffs Police Department and served proudly for nearly 24 years, with 7 of them as a Detective, But, in January of 2023, everything changed for me.
I think God put me in the right place at the right time to rescue an elderly woman in a wheelchair from a burning building. She and I could see nothing in the smoke but eventually made it out of the building. Unfortunately, my exposure to the smoke resulted in blood clots that forced my medical retirement from the police force.
Yet, I have found that my desire to serve is still strong. That is why I am running for City Council.
Who Am I? I am someone who got to know his city very, very well during 24 years of being a police officer. I got to know the great people, businesses and organizations that make this city great. And, yes, I encountered the criminal element and I looked the problems we face us right in the eye. I developed common sense solutions that I am excited to make a reality.
Who am I? I guess you could say I am an old-fashioned guy. I am guided by Christian principles. My family and my community are top priorities and I am not afraid to say I am a patriot.
I am a problem solver. When I see something wrong, I take decisive action and solve it if I can. I’m not much for political jargon. I believe in speaking the truth- plain and simple.
