Education is a top priority for Sinclair and after spending nearly the last two decades in southern Iowa, Sinclair has witnessed high unemployment rates, and the struggles facing small business owners and the agricultural community.

Sinclair has held numerous leadership positions on boards and committees such as the Iowa County Engineers, Service Bureau, South Iowa Area Crime Commission, Community Health Centers of Southern Iowa, Chariton Valley Transportation Planning Affiliate, South Central Iowa Community Action Agency and Wayne County Farm Bureau.
