Sioux City, Iowa — The controversy on where Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor lives and how that impacts his standing as a voter and public official continued with new twists Friday.
County Auditor Pat Gill issued a ruling Friday that Taylor’s voter registration is canceled because his new home on Christy Road is his primary residence instead of his previous home on Grandview Boulevard. Taylor says he still owns the original home and lives there part of the week — and that the auditor ignored the “overwhelming evidence.”
Taylor says he is taking the auditor’s decision to court.
Taylor is a Republican who is also a candidate for Iowa’s 4th District US Congressional seat. The Monday hearing would have had Auditor Gill, County Attorney Patrick Jennings and County Treasurer Michael Clayton decide if Taylor should continue to serve as a supervisor representing his district. A petition from the district questioned Tayor’s residency and he says it is an attack against him by local Demcorats. Auditor Gill declined to comment on Taylor’s comments or his ruling.
