Some of the most challenging issues that have come in front of me as a Supervisor, have started years and even decades ago. In some cases, the intent and interpretations are not the same or clear. Sometimes the issue is made more difficult because of neighbor or family disputes.
I have learned over the years to not jump to conclusions or take side because of friendships, acquaintances or who calls you first. “Get the facts” is always my first step. That is not always easy, and takes time. In other words, trying not to lean one way or the other before all the details are in has proven to be point of criticism and even more so when there is an election coming up.
Some call that politics, I see that as the wrong reason to make decisions that affect people.
I have used the process of gathering the information, getting input from people directly involved and making the best decision possible. It is very seldom that both sides of an issue are going to be happy with the outcome. I heard it before I was elected as the Mayor of Sageville, before I was elected as a Supervisor and again recently with the issues we are dealing with today, “you are going to have less friends when you become an elected official.”
It is easy to deal with the pretty issues, but the tough issues are just that, TOUGH.
A lot of people ask me why I want to do this. While working for the electric company I learned to deal with challenges that came from weather and customers, and wanted to use those skills to serve the people of Dubuque County and address the tough issues.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and share as you see fit.

Wayne Kenniker Announces 2026 Re-Election Campaign for Dubuque County Supervisor
DUBUQUE COUNTY, Iowa — Incumbent Wayne Kenniker today officially announced that he will seek re-election in 2026 for his seat on the Dubuque County Board of Supervisors. Kenniker, first elected in November 2022, said his decision to run again stems from a deep commitment to responsible governance, fiscal stewardship, and delivering results for Dubuque County residents.
“I believe our work is far from finished — and I want to keep fighting for a county that lives within its means, supports public safety, and puts people first,” Kenniker said.
Why He’s Running
Over his current term, Kenniker has focused on a number of key issues that he says he will continue to push forward if re-elected:
About Wayne Kenniker
A lifelong resident of Sageville and graduate of University of Dubuque with a BA in Business, Kenniker spent decades working in the electric utility industry — first as a lineman, then in management — before turning to public service.
He served as Mayor of Sageville beginning in 2019 and was re-elected in 2021, where he established his reputation as a consensus-builder and community-focused leader.
Kenniker is married to his wife Lori of over 42 years. Together they have three sons, two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren.
Looking Forward: What Kenniker Hopes to Achieve
If re-elected, Kenniker has laid out a forward-looking agenda that includes:
A Call to Action
“As your County Supervisor, I don’t take lightly the trust you place in me,” Kenniker said. “I’m ready to roll up my sleeves, listen, and work hard for every resident in Dubuque County. But I can’t do it alone — I ask for your support, your ideas, and your vote in 2026 so together we can keep building a stronger, safer, and more responsible county.”
