Today we introduce another Republican candidate running for Greene County Supervisor District Three.

James Hedges is a Greene County native and graduated from Jefferson-Scranton High School. He has a degree in agriculture studies from Iowa State University. He currently farms and does transportation of grain with his semi truck. Hedges shares his thoughts on the Greene County Diversity Project, where Greene County Development Corporation is working with Latino IQ to attract the Latino population to not only work in the county with the over 200 available jobs, but also try to get them to live here.

“I believe diversity is good in all aspects of life. So I would like to encourage any and all people to move to Greene County to help fulfill our good jobs that we have available. Also see the many opportunities that Greene County has to offer.” 

Hedges explains why he is running for Greene County Supervisor.

“My wife and kids are my driving force. Growing up in Greene County, I was blessed with many opportunities that I want my kids and all kids to have. So I want to build those opportunities for the next generations, while maintaining the safe and neighborly feeling that Greene County does have.”    

Hedges is running against Cassie George and Dan Benitz for the Republican nomination in the June 7th Primary Election for Greene County Supervisor District Three.
