The Scott County sheriff says although an Iowa Senate committee has rejected his ethics complaint against the state’s new lieutenant governor, he intends to pursue the matter.

Auditor Tompkins did not respond to our requests to participate in this printed forum. The invitation was extended for Tompkins to provide her responses by October 10, 2024, and we will supplement this article at our Web site with her responses. Tompkins has responded to none of the questions published in the September 2024 print edition and published online here Who Has Access and/or Control of County Election Data Before, During, and After an Election?, nor any of the questions provided below.  

In keeping with the Reader's tradition during primary season, we are publishing a candidate questionnaire for each of the three Scott County offices on the ballot this election year. The following questions were emailed to the candidates below. The unedited responses will be published at the Reader's website May 8 through May 10, and then again in print on May 23, 2024, when the June Reader print edition hits the streets.

Publisher Note: The River Cities' Reader has emailed the publicly available emails for all party's candidates in the certain selected Iowa General Election 2022 races, a candidate questionnaire with four topics and eight questions.  That communication is published in part below, along with the complete questionnaire. 

The Reader will publish all responses in the printed October edition out on the streets October 6, 2022. All the printed responses will also be published online shortly thereafter.
