I’m Joseph Herst. I’d like to earn your vote
Ankeny has been home for my wife, our three cats, and I for nearly a decade. I am proud to be part of this vibrant, growing community. I’ve had the privilege of serving as
- Chair of the Ankeny Young Professionals,
- Board member of the Chamber of Commerce,
- Supported many non-profits in our city.
After graduating from the Ankeny Leadership Institute and
Iowa State University with my MBA, I am ready to utilize my
experience, knowledge, and connections to help ensure Ankeny
remains a place where all families can thrive, feel welcome, and
build a future.
