(Atlantic, Iowa) – On Thursday, September 12, from 4:00-7:00 PM the Cass County Democrats will hold a Grand Opening at their 2024 election headquarters at 704 Walnut St. Suite 2, in Atlantic. The Grand Opening will feature Iowa House Candidate Tripp Narup who is running for the Iowa House in District 18, the seat currently held by Tom Moore. In addition to Narup, Cass County District Five Supervisor Candidate Phyllis Stakey will also be attending the Democrats’ Grand Opening. Stakey is running for the seat currently held by Bernard Pettinger. District Five includes Wiota, Anita, Cumberland, and Massena.

Narup,currently serving on the Villisca City Council, believes the following issues are central to creating opportunity in Southwest Iowa: reproductive rights, public education, highway and road infrastructure, and the state tax code. “Iowans are friendly and sensible people,” he said. “They know it is the time to get back to basics, to get back to doing the job state government is meant to do: educate our kids, maintain our roads and bridges, and protect individual rights. We’ve had enough of political bickering and make-believe culture clash issues. Let’s get back to work.”

Stakey is running for County Supervisor because she believes it is important to manage people’s money well, and she wants to promote and further develop communities in Cass County. Stakey is a lifelong resident of Cass County who worked as a realtor for 23 years and spent 18 years serving on the Cass County Hospital Board of Trustees. Stakey understands how important it is to people that their money be managed well. She has been active in the Cass County Tourism Committee, the Massena Historical Society, the Massena Chamber of Commerce, and the Cass County Board of Review, among other community organizations. Stakey believes all County Supervisors should be actively engaged in supporting and promoting their communities.

Everyone interested in meeting Narup or Stakey is welcome to attend the Cass County Democrats’ Headquarters Grand Opening on September 12, regardless of party affiliation.
