(Cass Co.) Wendy Richter has formally announced her candidacy for Cass County Supervisor District 3.
Richer said she has been a resident of Cass County for most of her life, except while she was away at college. She said for nearly twenty-seven years, she has worked and held numerous positions on local boards, as well as regional and state boards/committees.
She stated, “As the Director of Family Crisis Support Network, I served not only Cass County residents, but seven other counties in southwest Iowa. During that time, I was trained as an expert witness for the State of Iowa, a certified advocate on behalf of crime victims and spent many hours collaborating with individuals & groups in each county working to get services for their residents. I worked with the State of Iowa and numerous other entities to begin programs and bring public and private funds to the area.”
Richter added, “Without going into details of every committee, group, and volunteer efforts I’ve participated with, I want people to know that I have a vested interest in making Cass County and our communities a place that people are proud to call home and look forward to returning to. I believe I have the qualifications necessary to hold the position as a Supervisor, making decisions to lead the county in the right direction. The skills I’ve gained have taught me to know how important it is to work together, listen to people, work together, to do your due diligence to get the accurate information, work together and that everyone has a voice to be heard – yes, work together needs to be in there multiple times!”
