Iowa › Webster County › Webster County Supervisor District 5
Democrat Nick Carlson won his party's June 2, 2026 primary outright with 368 votes (no opponent), per the county's official primary results; the seat is open (incumbent Republican John Cochrane did not file for re-election, per the county's official Board of Supervisors roster). No Republican candidate filed. On the Republican primary ballot, write-in votes were scattered across roughly a dozen different names with one vote each (Roger Kruger, Terry Moehnke, James Guldenptening, Elizabeth Stoebe, Keith Dencklau, Jean M. Olson, Charles E. Peterson, Jarred Holms, Marvin Smith IV, Joe Condon, John M. Foley, Dana Hotz, Mark Campbell, May Helvik, Scott Deuel) alongside 2 votes for a person recorded as "Nick Carlson" -- a pattern consistent with a handful of Republican primary voters writing in essentially random names rather than an organized write-in campaign. This agent could not confirm from an official county document that any write-in met Iowa's statutory nomination threshold (Iowa Code section 43.66) or that a Republican nominee was certified for this seat. No Republican candidate is listed here; Webster County's certified November 3, 2026 candidate list should be checked before publishing a Republican name.
