Wright County commissioner candidate Bill Nivey outlines priorities at Montrose meeting
Summary
Candidate Bill Nivey introduced himself to the Montrose City Council and outlined a platform emphasizing election reform, religious freedom, and fiscal restraint during public comment on Aug. 12.
Bill Nivey, a candidate for Wright County Commissioner District 5, used the public-comment slot at the Montrose City Council meeting to introduce himself and explain why he is on the ballot. "I'm Bill Nivey. I live in Marysville Township," he said, and detailed his family history in the area and decision to run for office.
Nivey described priorities including election changes and what he framed as protecting constitutional rights. "Why am I doing this? I feel like our governments from state to national to local are, getting very forgetful," he said. He also spoke in favor of paper ballots and same-day counting and responded to one question from the council about how to contact him, providing a phone number. The council did not act on the candidate's requests; his remarks were an informational public comment.
