Ryan Hillebrand

My name is Ryan Hillebrand, I’m running for a seat on the Taylor County Supervisory Board for District 2.

My family and I have made Medford our home for the past 12 years. My wife, Vanessa, grew up in Medford. I’m originally from Lake Mills, Wi. After graduating from high school, I served in the U.S. Army -Reserve for 8 years. When we moved to Medford in 2012, I enrolled in classes at Northcentral Technical College and graduated in 2014 with a degree in Supervisory Management. I currently work at Sierra Pacific Industries.

I’ve decided to run for this position because I want to learn what it takes to make a county great. Our government, good, bad or otherwise has always been fascinating to me. The supervisory board is a non-partisan position. I feel serving on the board would be a great opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of county government. One of the most common statements I heard while gathering signatures was, “We need change.”

If I’m elected, I hope this will be my starting place to work together for the betterment of our cities and the county.

One of the questions I was asked is “What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the county over the next 5 years and how would you address it?”

In honesty, I don’t know specific issues. This is exactly WHY I am running. I want to learn about the struggles and success the county faces. I want to serve our community and be part of its improvement. If elected, I will be a quick learner. We live in a wonderful piece of Wisconsin. I hope to bring fresh perspective and new ideas to the board and the citizens it represents. Please consider voting for me in the primary on Feb. 20 2024.
