TOM FLANERY CANDIDATE FOR GUTHRIE COUNTY SUPERVISOR
Posted 5/10/2022
On March 17, Tom Flanery of Panora announced he is running for county supervisor in Guthrie County’s 3rd District, which includes Cass Township, the town of Panora, and parts of Lake Panorama and surrounding rural areas. Flanery said if he is elected county supervisor, he would like to continue the good things happening in Guthrie County.
“I will be committed to common sense government and conservative with Guthrie County taxpayer’s money,” Flanery said. “I will be a strong advocate for making improvements for law enforcement, public safety, bridges, roads, bike/snowmobile trails, libraries, and our fairgrounds. I also plan to work with the cities and economic development groups to bring more jobs and economic opportunities to our county. If elected, I will strive to maintain and improve the quality of life for all the citizens of Guthrie County.”
Flanery and his wife, Kellie Flanery (Book), both were raised in Guthrie County.
“We’ve been married for 25 years. We moved back to our hometown of Panora in 2017 and currently have two daughters enrolled in the Panorama Community School District. I am a fourth-generation Guthrie Countian,” he said.
Currently, Flanery is a member of the Panora City Council and on the committees for the electric board, public works, public safety, and the Panora Veterans Auditorium.
“Throughout the years, I have volunteered for the Panora, Woodward Granger, and Perry Parks and Rec softball leagues,” he said. “I also have been a member of the Perry Elks and Panora Lions Club.”
Flanery worked as a natural gas distribution contractor for 18 years before being hired at MidAmerican Energy in 2008.
“In 2011, I went through a four-year apprenticeship program to be a journeyman lineman and am currently working as an electric serviceman,” he said. “I have extended hands-on knowledge of how infrastructure is built and budgeted. We have also owned several successful small businesses and understand what struggles businesses can face.”
In closing, Flanery said he feels his life, work, and volunteer experience will be an asset as a Guthrie County Supervisor.
