Since I started campaigning back in February, my major goal has been to encourage respectful conversations about politics in Poweshiek and Tama County. Campaigning for an election is like applying for a job. The employer is the American people, and the job description is to engage and support ...
I am voting for Berleen Wobeter for Tama County Supervisor District 4. I know Berleen as do many people in Tama County. She is a lifelong Tama County resident with a life lived in plain view. Berleen has nothing to hide. She has earned my trust with her actions, not just her words, from years ...
I am incredibly disappointed in how our local politics mirror the National. I love the truth, I work on facts and I follow the Constitution. The Bible guides me in how comport myself. Imagine my surprise to find myself for the first time on the front page of a newspaper. Not in one, but two ...

I would like to heartily endorse Mark Doland for District 4 Tama County Supervisor. I’ve gotten to know Mark and Gwendy over the last few years, and I have friends that have known him much longer, his sterling reputation stretches back many years. I am confident that Mark is the best ...
Dear Potential Voters of Tama County, I grew up surrounded by politics and moral value-religious beliefs. Two uncles were 30-year Senators, one of each party. They both loved America and made decisions baed on the good of the U.S.A. In the past 60+ years, and specifically starting in 1960, we ...
