I’m Brandy Zumbach Meisheid, and I’m excited to introduce myself. As a lifelong resident of rural Coggon and a proud fifth-generation Linn County resident, this community is more than just my home; it’s where my husband and I are raising our two sons, Zachary (3) and Weston (2), and building our businesses.

​

My educational journey began at North Linn High School, and I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake. During my time at BVU, I discovered my passion for community service through my involvement with AmeriCorps, where I supported vulnerable youth at The Bridge of Storm Lake, and by coaching high school basketball. My commitment to service has continued as a past Associate member of the Linn County Fair and, for the past four years, as a member of the Linn County Board of Adjustment, where I have served as Chair and currently as Vice-Chair.

​

As a small business owner, I am aware of the needs and concerns of working families in Linn County. Balancing the demands of running a business with the responsibilities of raising a family has given me a unique perspective on the challenges we face, including rising daycare costs and grocery bills. These experiences shape my approach to examining the Linn County budget, always prioritizing the hard-working constituents and their families.

​

If elected as your next Supervisor, I will advocate for all voices of our community, regardless of political affiliation. I aim to represent business owners, farmers, parents, and small town and rural residents because I understand their challenges firsthand. It’s important to me that Linn County has a board that reflects its entire population.

With a background in non-profit fundraising, marketing, and agriculture, I thrive on building relationships and making a positive impact on others. 

​

My vision for service can be summed up in one word: collaboration. I am committed to maintaining fiscal responsibility while fostering a bipartisan Board of Supervisors that works together for the benefit of all residents. I am eager to encourage economic development and affordable housing construction that will make Linn County a place people of all ages will want to call home.

​

I would be honored to have your support in the November 5 election. Together, let’s ensure every voice is heard and that our communities continue to thrive. Thank you for considering my candidacy.
