Ready to Lead
“I am excited, ready to meet neighbors, and hear your ideas on how local leaders can expand opportunity for all residents. I look forward to meeting Dane County’s challenges head-on, asking questions, listening, and serving our community.”
Richelle Andrae, Supervisor, Dane County Board, District 11
Meet Richelle
Richelle has lived in Madison for almost a decade, and is a candidate for the Dane County Board Supervisors, District 11 (the area near Hilldale). She is running to ensure that all residents have the chance to thrive, and, if elected, would prioritize coordinating resources and planning for smart growth in Madison. Richelle believes that resident engagement with the Board is critical to ensuring that community voices inform decision-making, such as the priorities in the County’s annual $600 million dollar budget. She has worked directly with families and policymakers and understands the critical role that local governments can have in ensuring services meet the needs of residents by thinking creatively, collaborating, and planning for the future.
What the heck is the Dane County Board?
The Dane County Board of Supervisors is the legislative branch of the county government, and has 37 elected representatives (or Supervisors) - one from each district. Supervisors are non-partisan and generally not full-time elected officials. The County Board is responsible for establishing policies on issues like funding for health and human services, housing, and other programs. The County is also the entity which provides oversight for the County Jail, many sustainability efforts, lakes and watersheds, county parks, and the zoo, just to name a few.
