Regan For Scott County
 Molly J. Regan, Candidate Scott Soil and Water Conservation Commission  Molly J. Regan with Gov. Howard Dean, Labor Day, 2003 Molly J. Regan is a candidate for the Scott Soil and Water Conservation Commission. A life-long resident of Eastern Iowa, Regan holds an A.S. degree in Environmental Science and Geology from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Regan is a member of IECAN, the Independent Environmental Conservation Activism Network, and is dedicated to bringing cleaner, safer energy to Iowa. Molly J. Regan strives to ensure that Iowa’s harvest-bearing soil is saved from deterioration and overuse, and to improve the water quality of Iowa’s lakes, rivers, and streams. Regan will work to see that information for improved air quality plus soil and water conservation is made available to all schools and she will endeavor to prevent urban sprawl from overtaking valuable farmland. Good News Good news. We were successful in Scott County for a Soil & Water Conservation District Commission seat! A huge IOWA “Thank You” to those on the steering committee: Alta, Chuck (treasurer), Cliff, Monica, Joe, Lou, Betty, Cal, Caroline, Terry, Paul and all who helped. There was a lot of work in putting out yard signs and in letting your relatives, friends & neighbors know to turn the ballot over to find the non-partisan section for Soil & Water. According to the auditor’s office, 64 of 65 precincts have been counted, and I received 31,369 votes with the next closest winner receiving 29,840 (there were 3 seats available, and my name along with the 3 incumbents were listed). Apparently I was the only one doing any campaigning as a newspaper article had noted after doing separate interviews with us all. Fortunately, only my picture appeared on the front page of the “Leader” article last Friday. It was a positive note for our campaign. So when I am sworn in on Monday, January 3rd, and follow up with our meeting, I will experience my first elected office since college days over 25 years ago. There is one important item I want to address during my 4 year tenure, and that is to have MERCURY tested for on the waterways in Scott County. Testing is done twice a year on the streams in our county, but MERCURY is not on the list of things to be checked. Hopefully, that can be addressed. Thanks again to all who helped and to those who voted for me. A special thank you to Linda Thieman who placed a section on the blog for information about my campaign, and to DFA for their support. The teamwork in this organization is inspirational…..DEAN ON!…..NOW MORE THAN EVER!….Molly Regan Molly J. Regan has been endorsed by Democracy for America and Democracy for Iowa. |
