(Atlantic) Mark O’Brien, Cass County District 2 Supervisor, has announced his re-election campaign.
O’Brien stated that as a lifelong resident of Cass County he feels he has been, and will continue to be, a respected voice for his fellow constituents due to the years of knowledge and experience he has attained on both a professional and personal level.
O’Brien built his business, Iron Specialties, Inc. from the ground up; he has extensive construction background along with general contracting of commercial and agricultural projects for over 37 years; he is a residential and commercial property owner, farming and farm land owner; he has served on various local boards and committees; he has coached and coordinated various youth activities; and volunteers within the community.
