“Mahaska County Needs Mark Doland”

In the race for county Supervisor, only one man has demonstrated the knowledge, skill and personal integrity we need in all of our elected officials. That man is Mark Doland.

I met Mark a few years ago at our town-hall forum, “Eggs and Issues”. After publicly challenging a couple of our legislators on their stand on a particular controversial issue, I was so impressed by his tenacity and the courage of his convictions, I had to meet him and thank him for being a voice for so many of us.

Since that time I have come to know Mark quite well and have great respect for him and his common-sense approach to whatever he may encounter. I have seen him accomplish many things using this same approach and his outstanding organizational skills. Mark is a tireless worker and is ready to serve the people of Mahaska County.

Mark is also a selfless individual, always taking time for those in need. Anyone who knows him will tell you what a blessing he can be in your time of need.

I have seen Mark do the right thing even when doing “the right thing” came at a heavy price to him. We need people like Mark at all levels in our government.

The time is right to elect a true representative of all the people of Mahaska County. Please take a stand for a good government. Stand with me in voting to elect Mark Doland for Mahaska County Supervisor.
