(Liberty) U.S. Congressman Sam Graves announced today that Dan Hegeman will be in charge of his St. Joseph office, effective March 3^rd. Hegeman will lead an office in charge of providing constituent services to 23 counties and over 300,000 constituents.

 

“Dan’s experience as a state legislator, county official and a small businessman will give him a unique insight into the issues of St. Joseph and rural Missouri,” said Graves. “He is a devoted public servant and I am excited that he is going to be a part of the team.”

 

Hegeman will continue to serve as the Andrew County Clerk until the end of February. He was elected in 2002 and was re-elected without opposition in 2006. Hegeman served in the Missouri House after winning a special election in 1991 until he was term-limited out in 2002. He and his wife, Francine, have four children and live on a family dairy farm near Cosby.

 

“This is a great opportunity to continue my public service to an even wider constituency,” said Hegeman. “Sam Graves has always been known for his top-notch constituent services and I want to keep that focus. I have enjoyed my time as Andrew County Clerk and I will miss the people I work with everyday.”

 

The position became available when Dean Brookshier was named the City Administrator of Chillicothe earlier this year.
