Poweshiek County Supervisor Balances Statehouse Intern Duties
Mona Bond, 35, the first woman elected to Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors, serves two days weekly as supervisor and two as a legislative intern for Sen. Richard Varn. She plans rural road inspections, teaches Sunday School, and juggles duties as a divorced mother of two while pursuing business studies. Bond says the double role gives a broader view of government and highlights the connected system between county and state levels. She notes the board’s concise operation and her ritual of sliding down the Courthouse bannister each Friday to keep it shiny.
