REPUBLICAN
I, and my late husband Carl, have resided in Gentry Co. for the past 22 years and chose to raise our three daughters here. Carl and I enjoyed many years raising and working with our Angus cattle. We have been very active in our community; Young Farmers, Young Farm Wives, Gentry Co. Cattlemen’s, Beta Sigma Phi, 4-H, FFA, Church, QUWF, Community Services as well as the Albany R-III Schools. Served as the previous Gentry Co. Public Administrator as I was appointed by the Governor’s office in February 2018. This appointment was based on my qualifications out of several local candidates/applicants. As a business person, I am experienced as well as qualified to be a conservator for wards of the court by handling their financial interests and needs. As a guardian, I know first hand the importance of making decisions regarding specific needs of each client. Our caregivers must be invested in the needs and lives of our clients. I will hold them accountable to the standards of care my clients deserve. I am very compassionate about the care of others, having spent my entire life caring for my mother, grandparents, friends with cancer and husband. I ASK YOU, THE VOTERS, TO PLEASE SUPPORT ME BY VOTING, KERRI MESSNER, AS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GENTRY COUNTY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR.
