Brian Campbell, who lives on Sand Road south of Iowa City, was able to collect enough signatures to join the race as an independent.

Former Lone Tree Mayor Jon Green emerged as the Democratic candidate chosen to run for the open seat on the Johnson County Board of Supervisors.
It took three rounds of voting for Green to secure the nomination Tuesday night as Johnson County Democratic delegates met at the Fairgrounds. Convention rules require a candidate to receive a majority vote to win. He received 105 of the 281 votes in the first round, with Susan Vileta being eliminated. In the second round, Green got 116 of 281 votes, with Scott Finlayson eliminated. In the closely-contested third round, Green edged the remaining candidate, Coralville city councilor Meghan Foster, 139-137.

Johnson County Republicans have chosen their candidate for an open seat on the Board of Supervisors.
Former Iowa City School Board member Phil Hemmingway had initially said he didn’t want to be nominated to run for the seat vacated by supervisor Janelle Rettig last month. But 11 of 19 delegates named Hemmingway as their candidate during a special meeting Saturday at the Miller Learning Center on Keokuk Street in Iowa City. Hemmingway will go on to face at least one Democratic challenger for the open seat, which has 20 months remaining on the term.
Hemmingway beat out former Marine Michah Broekemeier, who garnered the other eight votes, and licensed hemp grower Clay Warren, who received no votes.
