Republicans Step In for Local Seats | Des Moines News

Polk County Republicans are making a bold move in local elections, stepping in to nominate candidates for county supervisor and county attorney after a Democratic-heavy June primary. Alyson DeMoss, a city council member, is running for supervisor in District Four, facing Heather Jones-Brown, while criminal defense attorney Jonah Dyer is challenging incumbent County Attorney Kimberly Graham. Both candidates, backed by party officials and community supporters, promise to prioritize people over politics. DeMoss focuses on water quality and property tax reform, while Dyer aims to rebuild public trust in the justice system and proposes smarter handling of minor marijuana offenses. With the GOP’s deadline to add more challengers looming, voters now face a fresh, Republican-backed alternative for key county leadership roles in November.
