Northwest Iowa — When the Iowa Legislature gavels into session in January, one of the newly-elected members from here in northwest Iowa will also be the youngest lawmaker.
Twenty-three-year-old Skyler Wheeler of Orange City will represent District Four in the Iowa House. Wheeler, a Republican, faced a write-in candidate and won by a big margin. He says he was surprised by some of the results last Tuesday.
Wheeler says there are a number of issues that are important to him where he’d like to see the legislature take action.
Wheeler is an account representative for Staples Promotional Products in Orange City and is a graduate of Northwestern College. He says he would like to see more investment in the state’s community college system, and will also push for a balanced budget.
