Johnson County supervisors OK election district plan

IOWA CITY — The Johnson County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a supervisor district plan that splits the county into five districts, setting up a possible face-off between current board members next year.

The district plan, proposed by the state’s non-partisan Legislative Services Agency, is required as part of the county’s efforts to comply with a new state law, passed earlier this year, that requires the three Iowa counties that are home to regents university campuses to elect their county supervisors by districts, rather than at-large.

All five seats on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors will be on the ballot in November 2026. Voters will be able to vote for a single member of the board based on where they live.

The terms of board Chair Jon Green and Supervisor V Fixmer-Oraiz were set to end in 2026. Supervisors Rod Sullivan, Mandi Remington and Lisa Green-Douglass were elected to new four-year terms in November 2024, but now face a 2026 election.
