I am Justin Schultz, one of the five Pottawattamie County Board Supervisors and I am so thankful for your support!   I grew up in Lewis Township just south of Council Bluffs and consider myself a native of Pottawattamie County. I am a proud graduate of Lewis Central High School (2002),  the University of Iowa with a bachelors in Political Science and Foreign Policy (2007) and American University – Washington, D.C. with a masters in Public Administration and Public Policy (2021).  

I currently reside with my wife Nikki, and three children, Eli (9), Everly (4), and Emmerich (2), on a small acreage off Mynster Springs Road on the way to the Crescent, IA. We live in a log home with backyard chickens and our German Shorthaired Pointer, Abby. I couldn’t be more blessed than to have such a wonderful family.  

I am a Veteran and a currently serving, Field Grade Infantry Officer of the Iowa Army National Guard. I have two combat deployments to Afghanistan and have served at numerous duty stations worldwide. Over the last 21+ years of service I have held many leadership roles and fought hard to protect our way of life. I am assigned as G3 – Current Operations Officer (CUOPS) at Joint Forces Headquarters in Johnston, IA, where I oversee the Commander’s Inspection Program (CIP) to evaluate training for all units across the state. I am also attending the Command General Staff Officer’s Course (CGSOC) set to graduate later this Fall.  

On the civilian side, I work in the Renewable Fuels Industry, employed at Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy. I am the Regulatory Manager, overseeing the Process Safety Management (PSM) program, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) program and the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) program. I am also responsible for Public and Governmental Affairs.  I have the pleasure of being immersed into the rural agricultural community on a daily basis and I always love hear about the issues that face our modern era farms.  

As a proud father I help coach my son’s little league baseball team for Spartans and his tackle football team for the Lewis Central Youth Titans. It always amazes me that although we coach and mentor the young minds to be become the best they can be, we in turn become the best versions of ourselves.  

2022 is an important year for a variety of reasons, but for me, it is critical because it marks the start of the mid-term election season. I have met with friends, family, and citizens across our great county about the issues that affect their families and day-to-day lives. Our residents need someone on the board they can trust and rely on to make responsible decisions, even when the going gets tough. I take great pride in what I do as a County Supervisor and I will continue to fight for YOU to lower taxes, ensure quality of services, and strengthen our financial standing. It takes leadership and forward thinking, and these are traits that I unquestionably bring to the table. It would truly be an honor to have your support in the upcoming primary election so that I can continue to be your voice in local government!  

“Let’s Keep the Focus on the Way Ahead for Pottawattamie County!”

Vote Justin Schultz for Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors June 7th, 2022!
