Northwest Iowa — One of the four Republican challengers seeking Steve King’s congressional seat in the June primary is resigning his post as Woodbury County. Jeremy Taylor is resigning after his residency was canceled last week when the county auditor ruled Taylor now lives in a new home outside the county district he was elected to serve.
Taylor did not attend the supervisor meeting Tuesday. Taylor says he doesn’t agree with the decision on his residency.
He had announced he was going to fight the decision in court, but says he does not want to subject his family to a long legal battle.
Woodbury County Auditor Pat Gill and County Attorney Patrick Jennings will meet Monday to determine a time frame for a special election to replace Taylor.
