Kolby DeWitt, of Sioux City, has been unanimously selected by the Woodbury County Republican Party as the nominee for the Woodbury Countty Board of Supervisors District 4 position.

Two of the county suipervisors positions will be decided by voters in November.

"I am eager to spread my message and platform of continuing the momentum of the current common-sense conservative board, exploring new forms of energy and efficiency, and continuing and emboldening a culture of excellence among county staff, and more," DeWitt said.

The action was taken Saturday, via a special convention to fill out the slate of Republicans running for county office.

District 4 is currently represented by Matthew Ung, but he is not seeking reelection.

The Democratic opponent for DeWitt in District 4 is Brittney Wilson.

DeWitt lives in Sioux City and works as Outreach Director for U.S. Senator Joni Ernst.

The District 2 county supervisor contest people on the fall ballot are Republican incumbent Dan Bittinger nand Democrat Jody House.

The suipervisors in Districts 1, 3 and 5 are not on the ballot in 2026.
