Mark Trueblood, Mayor of Ogden, Iowa
I am honored to provide my endorsement for Margaret Liston for the Iowa State Senate. Working alongside Margaret in my community involvement, I can assure you that she is compassionate, driven, and meant for this position. Besides serving in her 5th term as an Ogden City Councilwoman, Margaret is active and very present in our school system and helped establish Ogden's Community Garden which is where you can find her most of the summer. When residents can't be met at home for deliveries, Margaret has a produce stand set up in her yard to help make Ogden's fresh produce more accessible.
​
Margaret's professional background in healthcare, involvement in local government and mentoring in our school system makes her a true asset to Iowans. She is familiar with the obstacles that real, rural Iowans face day-to-day and is ready to be a voice for her constituents. I truly couldn't be more proud to endorse Margaret Liston for the 24th District of the Iowa State Senate.
Shannon Wirtz Safley, Ogden resident
Margaret is fair, open-minded, compassionate, knowledgeable, and courteous to others. She researches issues, inquires, seeks out information, and listens to all sides before making a decision.
​
We have served on a number of committees together over the years. I have never known her to make a knee jerk decision. Her heart is big and generous. She constantly works for the average Iowan. She's worked hard for everything that she's earned.
​
I am very proud of her accomplishments and extremely honored to call her my closest friend and confidant. Margaret Liston has earned and deserves your vote.
