UNION – Guthrie County Attorney Brenna Bird has thrown her hat in the ring in the hopes of defeating Democrat Tom Miller for the position of Iowa Attorney General. Miller has held the post since 1978, minus a stint between 1991 and 1994 when he was in private practice.

Bird, 46, made a campaign stop at The Outreach Program in Union last week in an effort to visit all of Iowa’s 99 counties. She has been the Guthrie County Attorney since 2018, and has received Gov. Kim Reynolds’s endorsement for Attorney General. “She endorsed me on the first day of my campaign,” Bird said.

The Eldora-New Providence Schools came first, when early last month the school board stepped back from a project to wholesale remodel its downtown Eldora elementary school center. Quotes from several contractors came in and basically the prices were too high.

Now the same has effectively happened for the City of Eldora.
