O’Brien County, Iowa — Another longtime area lawman has thrown his hat into the ring for the Republican nomination for O’Brien County Sheriff.
Current O’Brien County Chief Deputy Allen Schuknecht talked to us about his reasons for seeking the Sheriff’s job.
Schuknecht says he’s been in law enforcement in O’Brien County since he was 19.
We asked Schuknecht what voters should know about him prior to casting their ballot.
Schuknecht will be on the June 7th Republican Primary ballot for Sheriff of O’Brien County. He’s seeking the office that will be vacated by the retirement of current O’Brien County Sheriff Michael Anderson, who has announced his decision to not seek re-election.
