Hello! I’m Lauren Campbell, and it is an honor to serve on the Windsor Heights City Council.

I am truly honored to have earned the opportunity to continue serving Windsor Heights! Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign — those who donated, shared encouraging words, placed a sign in your yard, talked to your neighbors, or simply took the time to vote. Every bit of support made a difference, and I’m so grateful.

I look forward to continuing our work together to keep Windsor Heights strong, welcoming, and moving forward.

Serving this community is one of my greatest privileges, and I’m excited for all we’ll accomplish together in the years ahead.

"Lauren Campbell has the energy, intellect, and heart to continue to make Windsor Heights a community people are excited to visit and live in. I’ve been blown away by Lauren’s commitment to making our community better, and we would be lucky to have her continued service on the Windsor Heights City Council. I’m honored to endorse her for re-election to this important role."

Rep. Rob Johnson (IA-34)

“I’m proud to endorse Lauren Campbell. I know firsthand that Lauren isn’t just talking about change, she’s doing the work. I’ve seen her roll up her sleeves, show up for people, and stay committed even when the cameras aren’t around.

Lauren leads with integrity, compassion, and action. She listens to our community, stands up for what’s right, and always puts people first. That’s the kind of leadership we need right now.

I’m confident that with Lauren Campbell, we’re not just re-electing someone with great ideas, we’re electing someone who will keep showing up and getting things done for all of us.”

Rep. Larry McBurney (IA-44)

"I’m proud to support Lauren Campbell in her bid for re-election to the Windsor Heights City Council.

Windsor Heights and Urbandale have been strong municipal partners for decades, working together to strengthen shared infrastructure and keep both communities thriving. Our collaboration has helped lower property taxes for residents in both cities, and that kind of progress doesn’t happen without leaders who value partnership over politics. Lauren has been a steadfast advocate for continuing this spirit of cooperation that benefits all our residents.

Lauren also brings the perspective of a small business owner who understands firsthand the challenges and opportunities facing local entrepreneurs. When she serves on the City Council, she does so with a deep appreciation for what it takes to build and sustain a business in the same community she represents.

Beyond City Hall, Lauren is deeply invested in the everyday life of Windsor Heights. Whether it’s attending a ribbon cutting, supporting community events, or attending Nights in the Heights with her family, she shows up. She’s not just a council member — she’s an active neighbor and dedicated community leader.

Windsor Heights is stronger because of leaders like Lauren Campbell. I hope you’ll join me in supporting her for re-election to continue the good work she’s doing for the community she loves."

Hon. Threase Harms

She works tirelessly to make Windsor Heights a more welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant place to live. Her commitment to thoughtful growth and her dedication to improving quality of life for all residents are evident in everything she does. I’m proud support her reelection and to continue to serve our community with her."

Hon. Susan Skeries

"I’ve really enjoyed serving alongside Lauren on the Windsor Heights City Council, especially our work together on Special Events for our community. She works hard, listens to residents, and cares deeply about our future. I’m proud to endorse Lauren Campbell for re-election!"

Hon. Bridget Carberry Montgomery

"Lauren is a proven champion for Windsor Heights and the entire Metro. She is personally involved in bringing so many amazing events to Windsor Heights and she is truly committed to regional cooperation and collaboration. I look forward to working alongside her for another 4 years."
