Board Candidates

Incumbent directors are marked with (I)

 

District 2

Douglas Anderson, (I) Arthur, ND

Doug Anderson

Incumbent: 1997 - Presents

I would like to take this opportunity to express my concerns about the future of our power supply. Currently, we are facing an attack on the coal industry. The Biden Administration’s plan to reduce or eliminate CO2 emissions from coal generation will increase our costs significantly. Your cooperative has an ownership stake in coal generation, and we need to push back on groups whose plans are to eliminate coal. Members of these groups live in our service area and have a right to run for the board to advance their agenda. Be aware of board candidates with an antagonistic plan, as they could seriously disrupt the board’s function and our cooperative’s financial health, affecting your pocketbooks significantly.


District 3

Sid Berg, (I) Colfax, ND

Sid Berg

Incumbent: 2003 - Present

I like serving the patrons of not only my district but the entire cooperative. It has been a fantastic learning experience meeting people from all over North Dakota and many other states. The electrical industry has been through many trials and tribulations, which will be long-going with fossil fuel and green energy. This country needs all energy sources to work hand in hand for a reliable grid. I have served Cass County Electric from 2003 to the present date and would like to continue serving this great cooperative.

Brian Gregor, Kindred, ND

CCEC customers enjoy reliable, economically priced energy as the result of strong strategic plans and policies developed by CCEC leadership over the years. New federal energy policies and regulations aimed at eliminating fossil fuel use are creating significant challenges to providing reliable, cost-effective energy. As a director, I would be committed to focusing what I have learned during my 30-year engineering career on strong strategic plans and policies to ensure CCEC member satisfaction by continuing to provide reliable, cost-effective energy. I would be honored to receive your vote and represent you as a CCEC director.

Vanessa Kummer, Colfax, ND

Vanessa Kummer

As farmers, Cass County Electric is a big part of our everyday lives. We worked with them when we built a house and when we needed to install three-phase for our operation. The cooperative model has been and continues to be very critical to rural America. I want to represent the people of my district and for the whole cooperative to do what is best for our future.


District 7

Wendy R. Loucks, (I) Fargo, ND

Wendy Loucks

Incumbent: 2003 - Present

We are approaching major decisions about carbon capture and sequestration, future energy sources, and the management of the cooperative. It is imperative a board member be objective yet deliberate, willing to change his or her opinion if the weight of the evidence warrants. As a former Chairman of the Board, I understand the impact a board’s decision has on its members. My position has always been, and will always be, to protect the finances of the cooperative while fully, fairly, and impartially representing you. I am humbled and honored to have served on the board and ask you to support me in the 2024 election.
