Cerro Gordo Supervisor Callanan travels to Washington, D.C.

CLEAR LAKE – Cerro Gordo county Supervisor Casey Callanan recently traveled to Washington, D.C to attend meetings at the White House. Officials from the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs hosted meetings for elected officeholders on July 10th. Callanan, who traveled on his own dime and at no expense to the tax payers, joined other county Supervisors at a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence, Iowa Senators Grassley and Ernst.

“Among the officials we heard from were Deputy Secretaries and Under Secretaries of the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Labor and the Small Business Administration.” Callanan said. “White House counselor Kellyanne Conway also address the group to discuss the ongoing effort to combat the Opioid crisis. As a local elected official, it’s important to be informed on federal policies as they obviously impact us in North Iowa.”

Supervisor Callanan was accompanied by his wife, Hunter, who is employed by the North Iowa Corridor EDC. The couple also toured the White House, “It was surreal to stand in the East Room where less than 12 hours earlier, President Trump announce his nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Callanan is seeking re-election this Fall.
