Kolby DeWitt, of Sioux City, has been unanimously selected by the Woodbury County Republican Party as the nominee for the Countty Board of Supervisors District 4 position.
Two of the five county supervisors 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 has been represented by Matthew Ung since 2014, 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 and Democrat Jody House.
The supervisors in Districts 1, 3 and 5 are not on the ballot in 2026.
A special nominating convention is a process used by political parties to place candidates on an election ballot when a vacancy occurs or if a seat lacks representation following a filing period.
