Johnson County Courthouse, Iowa City
The three counties in Iowa that house regents universities – Johnson, Black Hawk and Story, have been forced by the Iowa legislature to elect county supervisors by district instead of at-large. Voters in the three counties sued to stop the new law from taking effect but at this time as far as I know it hasn’t been decided. In the meantime, these three counties have to proceed. Here is a link that should tell you most of what you need to know about what happened in case you missed it. dailyiowan.com/2025/10/26/lawsuit-filed-against-state-over-law-that-limits-voters-rights-in-counties-with-regent-universities/
I found these three candidate forums on the City of Iowa City YouTube channel.

Candidates: Jessica Andino, Janet Godwin, and Jon Green
League of Women Voters Candidate Forum: Johnson County Board of Supervisors District 4 Primary
Candidates: Rod Sullivan and V Fixmer-Oraiz
League of Women Voters Candidate Forum: Johnson County Board of Supervisors District 5 Primary
Candidates: Joe Reilly and Mandi Remington
Thank you for this post. That blatantly-discriminatory law should go down in massive legal flames. I used to live in Ames and sometimes still read the Ames paper. Story County Democrats had better get to the polls this fall, because the Republican candidates for supervisor were recently profiled, and they are scary.
