Seventeen Applications for Vacant Linn County Supervisor Seat

Linn County has received seventeen applications for their vacant District 2 Supervisor seat.

Applications for the vacancy were due by midnight Sunday night. Linn County Supervisor Ben Rogers announced last month that he is leaving the Board of Supervisors for a position with UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Foundation, effective April 1st.

During a public meeting earlier this month, Linn County Auditor Todd Taylor, Recorder Carolyn Siebrecht, and Treasurer Brent Oleson voted to fill the District 2 Board of Supervisor vacancy by appointment because the committee did not receive a valid petition from electors in District 2 to trigger a special election.

Among the applicants for the Linn County Supervisor seat are:

• Anne Harris Carter
• Brandon Eales
• Alvin Ehler
• Jennifer Fishwild
• Kris Gulick
• Margaret Jessen
• Stephanie King
• Evan Langston
• John Markham
• Joan McCalmant
• Dennis McNamara
• Corey Miller
• Wifag Mohammed
• Tomas Podzimek
• Sami Scheetz
• Andrew Whiting
• Tremaine Woods

The Linn County Auditor, Recorder and Treasurer will meet on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the Linn County Public Service Center to discuss applications received and the next steps in the process.
