When Tim Gieseke found out about Representative Terry Morrow's resignation, the first thing he did was call the Independence Party. With unanimous approval, he's now running to represent District 19A under the Independence party. Gieseke says, "Change is the game on how the people feel public policy is written and I can bring that up there."
Gieseke believes in a using a shared governance policy that recognizes people from the four governance sectors. Gieseke says, "Especially for environment education and health need to be looked at in a larger governance model."
Gieseke says his experience in business will allow him to communicate effectively and get things done. Gieseke says, "Work with diverse groups on contentious issues and able to kind of compile solutions for them"
