Last night, the League of Women Voters of Sioux City presented a candidate forum with the candidates for Woodbury County Offices. There are four candidates for the board of supervisors and three candidates for Treasurer. The incumbent board members are Republicans Jeremy Taylor and Mathew Ung. Democrat Flora Lee is challenging Jeremy Taylor, and Democrat Carter Smith is running against Mathew Ung. Two of the candidates for county treasurer attended the forum: Incumbent Republican Mike Clayton and Democratic challenger Bruce Garbe.

The candidates were asked about issues concerning health care, finances, security and economic development among other issues.
