“I have the skills, knowledge and temperament needed for this office,” she added.

Since then, she has taken on additional responsibilities as real estate clerk and also works with elections, accounts payable, tax increment financing and valuations.

She is certified through the Iowa State Association of Counties.

The candidate grew up near Harcourt. She is a graduate of Prairie Valley High School who earned a bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University in Ames. She is pursuing an accounting degree through online classes offered by Western Governors University.
