Howard County - In the weeks leading up to the 2018 election, the Times Plain Dealer is going to introduce readers to candidates for a few of the local races. This week, the paper is highlighting the candidates for Howard County Supervisor — District 2. District 3 candidates will be featured next week. In addition this week, the Howard County Attorney, Recorder and Treasurer will answer questions. See their responses on page A-18.
Election Day 2018 is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 6. There is no presidential election, but many federal and state legislators are up for election, and county offices are also being voted on, and mid-term elections can determine the balance of power between the major parties. Don’t forget to vote!

• Why are you running for office and what are your short and long-term goals?
I am running for office because I love my job and the people I work with. My goal is to serve the public to the best of my ability while following the Code of Iowa. 
• What knowledge and skills would you bring to the office?
I have enjoyed working in the Recorder’s Office since 1996. Experience is very helpful in assessing how best to help someone with an issue. To be knowledgeable of current laws and administrative rules of the state departments we work with while helping someone is essential. Roxann, Lori and I work well together as a team to ensure quality service for our customers.
• What do you see as the biggest challenge for Howard County and how can it be addressed?
Attracting more new businesses to locate within our county will offer job opportunities and growth for our communities. Our area is beautiful and has much to offer!
