Brandon Allee says that if elected as Worth County Clerk, he would have some big footsteps to follow. “Roberta Owens does things that people don’t realize she does,” Mr. Allee said. “I would have some big footsteps to follow.”
After Ms. Owens announced she would not seek reelection to the post, Mr. Allee said he was asked to run. He pledged no agenda, big ideas or easy answers, only to do what he is elected to do. His chief duties as County Clerk are keeping the minutes for the County Commission and overseeing the elections. But Mr. Allee said it all depended on the local election judges to keep the elections running smoothly. “I hope they all continue to serve regardless of which one of us wins,” he said.
Mr. Allee is running on the Republican ticket against Melissa Percell for the August 4th primary. The winner will become the next Worth County Clerk unless an Independent or write-in candidate emerges.
Mr. Allee is the son of Lisa (Allee) Reidlinger and Darwin Force. When he was in sixth grade, he went to live with his grandparents, the late Doy and Shirley Allee of Sheridan. “I’ve never wanted to leave Worth County since then,” he said.
Since he graduated from Worth County, he has worked at various jobs around the county, including for the county, Chris Fletchall, Steve Espey, and Sur-Gro. He has worked for the Road & Bridge crew and has worked as the gravel checker for the county. He has put the flag up at the Courthouse. He serves on the Sheridan Housing Board and the Isadora Cemetery Board.
Mr. Allee is married to Kayla and has one daughter, Payton, with another child on the way due in December. He lived in the former Doy & Shirley Allee residence after they passed away for a time, but recently moved into the former Viron Nelson residence east of Sheridan. He noted that the plaque with Mr. Nelson’s last business license from 1986 for his blacksmith shop was still on display in the shed, signed by Roberta Owens’ father, Bob Pierce.
