Fort Dodge City Councilman Neven Conrad is running for a second term in office.

”Four years ago, I was humbled to receive the support and trust of the citizens of Fort Dodge,” he said in a written statement announcing his candidacy. ”In the years since, I have worked to continue the many positive strides Fort Dodge has achieved in the past decade, but the work is not done.”

”Together, we can keep Fort Dodge a regional hub, drawing in new companies and expanding existing businesses,” he added. ”Together we can continue investing in ourselves through infrastructure improvements and quality of life measures designed to attract new citizens and retain native Fort Dodgers. Together we can provide solutions to problems and tackle head-on the effects of a changing economy. Together we can, but I will need your support.”
