Want to become a Hardin Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Commissioner, give back to your community and have a positive impact on Iowa’s land, water and people? Seats for two Hardin SWCD commissioners will be found on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot, both four-year terms.

SWCD Commissioners help set local priorities for natural resource protection, facilitate activities such as youth and adult conservation outreach and assist the management of district funds and personnel. They may come from all walks of life. All that is needed is an interest in protecting our natural resources.

Commissioners are reimbursed for expenses and protected from personal liability. Any eligible voter residing in Hardin County is eligible to be a candidate for the office of Hardin SWCD commissioner, except that no more than two commissioners may reside in any one township. Existing commissioners with terms not expiring this year are Allen Kadolph of Tipton Township, Josh Jeske of Pleasant Township, and Peggy Rash-Daniels, also of Pleasant Township.

Nomination petitions for these non-partisan offices must be completed and filed with the Hardin County Auditor by Wednesday, August 26. Twenty-five signatures from county residents must be acquired on the petition, and the person whose nomination is proposed by the petition may not sign it, so please plan ahead.

Nomination petitions may be obtained from the Hardin County Auditor’s office at 1215 Edgington Avenue Suite 1, Eldora, IA 50627 or online at https://sos.iowa.gov/general-election . Questions regarding becoming a commissioner may be directed to Hardin SWCD at 641-648-3463, extension 3 or the Hardin County Auditor, 641-939-8108.

All SWCD programs are provided to the public without discrimination on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, s*x, religion, marital status or handicap.
