Occupation: Life Insurance Underwriter for 45 years, Small business owner

Email: dgunderson15@gmail.com

I have worked in the insurance industry for over 45 years, and I own a small business.
In addition to my extensive work experience, I have a bachelor’s degree in business
Admin, master’s degree in business Admin and finally all but dissertation on my
Doctorate.

My community service experience demonstrates dedication to serving and representing
the interest of Pot County residents. I served 3 years as a Riverside School Board
member with 2 years as school board president. I served 5 years as president of
Riverside Booster Club, assistant boys varsity basketball coach and coach of Riverside
youth baseball and basketball teams.

What are the two most important issues facing Council Bluffs/Pottawattamie County, and what will you do to address them?

The critical issues facing Pott County voters are and use decisions related to wind energy
and urban development.

 

What should be done to strengthen business climate, grow the workforce, and encourage economic and population growth?

Develop and support small local business instead of prioritizing large corporate businesses like Data centers. Each small town and Council Bluffs will win if small local business receives the boards support and attention.

What can be done to balance property tax relief with the needs for cities, counties, and schools to fund services, infrastructure, and future growth?

Again, prioritize development of small business instead of buying ski resorts. Eliminate tax breaks to large corporations TIFs and provide funds to cities for development of opportunities for local business.

What would you like voters to know about you, beyond your positions on the issues?

As a member of the Pott County Board of Supervisors, I will bring Professionalism,
Accountability, Ethical Behavior and Consistency to the Board.
