To Contribute:A message from our Treasurer…Russ Bertrand
Hard fought elections unfortunately become very expensive down the stretch…and this House race will be no exception. Strong financial support is the essential life line that supplements our door to door efforts. TV, radio, signage, and mailings quickly add up, and with your help, our name and message will be easily recognized & supported at the ballot box come this November
On behalf of Team Bertrand I would like to personally Thank you in advance for your contribution & may God bless you for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,
Russ Bertrand

Meet Rick
Rick Bertrand grew up on a family farm within Sioux City’s District 2. Here Rick was taught the value of family, and the rewards of hard work.
Rick attended Grant Elementary before graduating from Bishop Heelan High School in 1988. Bertrand attended Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge Iowa before earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Northern Iowa in 1993. For the past 14 years Rick has worked passionately in the healthcare industry marketing products and programs for the treatment of Diabetes. Rick’s commitment to the patient, and solutions based philosophy, has earned him the trust and respect locally, and nationally in the Diabetes arena.
Rick married Sioux City native Tammy Bailey in August 1998 and have been blessed with their first child Addison (their ten year anniversary present) in February 2008 and are anxiously awaiting their second child due this May.
Bertrand’s agricultural background, business experience, and personal values form the foundation of his leadership and discussion making ability. Bertrand’s genuine ability to listen enables him to connect with people, broker solutions, and simply get things done.
Rick is a positive, innovative, hard working Iowan that believes in a small limited government and personal responsibility. Bertrand’s local, national, and international experience provides a fresh perspective on local business development and state government responsibility. Bertrand is committed to Iowa family values, fiscal discipline, tax relief, education, and simplifying government.
Rick completed in 2009 his 2 year term on the Sioux City Community School Board Advisory Committee. Bertrand’s “return on investment” approach is an innovative plan that combines a high quality education with a vision that encompasses social and economic goals beyond graduation.
Capitalizing on his entrepreneurial spirit, Bertrand founded TARINI Wines in early 2004 and is the current president of JAR Imports.
After battling a Thyroid illness in 2003, Bertrand recommitted himself to maximizing life. In the fall of 2008 Rick conquered his 4th marathon, The New York City Marathon. Rick currently serves on the Sioux City Art Center Board of Directors, and sat on the June E.Nylen Cancer Center fundraising committee. Rick and Tammy are both life long Iowa District 2 residents and are active members of St. Joseph parish.
