About Cass County
Cass County is divided into five commissioner districts. I am running for District 3 because I live in Bull Moose Township. Our districts are decided based on population data to ensure equal representation. Each district elects one commissioner to the county board.
The districts are redrawn periodically to reflect population changes, ensuring fair and balanced representation for all residents. The last redistricting for Cass County occurred in 2022 following the 2020 Census.
