"Hockensmith, a Democrat, understands how the county can play a positive role in regional development. He demonstrated that in working to pass a comprehensive development plan that promises orderly growth for north and east Polk County while preserving rural character and natural landscapes. The irony is that the plan drew bitter opposition from the very people whose interests it will protect.
Hockensmith showed true leadership in pushing the comprehensive growth plan in the face of bitter, often personal, attacks. He is a hard-working elected official with a capacity to change his mind. He deserves to be re-elected."

Des Moines Register 10/31/06

 

"In eastern Polk County, Hockensmith has put credibility back into county government. He's accessible to county residents and the press. He diligently attends community functions and
meetings with citizens to discuss government.
He will return your phone call and he does work
for the best interests of county residents."
