My Bio
I'm Jeffrey M. Neu, running for Dodge County Board of Supervisors - District 10, because our community deserves a leader who will prioritize practical, fact-driven decisions. With 18 years of experience on the Rubicon Town Board, a background in law enforcement and the military, and 26 years in IT, I'm committed to improving our community's infrastructure, services, and quality of life. My focus is on maintaining our roads, enhancing radio communications, developing affordable housing, fostering community development, and addressing the evolving needs of our agricultural community. I'm dedicated to listening, collaborating, and driving positive change for District 10.
My Key Issues
Building a reliable public safety radio system
Our current system is unreliable, which causes communications to be lost in certain areas at the worst possible times due to technical issues. This affects law enforcement, firefighting, and first responder services when they are needed most. It also hinders the day-to-day operations of other support organizations that rely on the radio system. In my time as a patrolman in Colorado, we were hindered by the mountain ranges in what we termed “dead air space”. It’s not a good position to be in when you need help. Here, the problem is different and is called ”high VHF noise floor”, which garbles and cuts out communication. This is a serious public safety concern for our citizens and our officers. This must be resolved.
Affordable housing availability
Affordable housing availability remains an issue, as do rising rental rates. We need to support affordable housing development in our communities and keep the American dream alive for future generations.
Maintaining our county road system
Roads continue be a focus with our constituents. They demand better roads, and if you’ve been on some of the older county roads, then you know what I mean. Road construction is primarily funded by taxes and State General Transportation Aids, but these aids have been insufficient to keep pace with inflation and rising construction costs. The biggest debate over the County’s 2026 budget was whether to borrow money for road construction. The Board, in part, opted to draw funds from Community Development, significantly reducing its development revenues. We can’t keep doing this. We can’t keep taking funds from other strategic areas. We need to find a better solution at the County level, and the State needs to find a solution that keeps General Transportation Aids in step with inflation and construction costs.
