Republican Aaron DeKock is running unopposed to represent Warren County’s District 2 supervisor seat, which includes Norwalk.
DeKock received almost 60% of the vote in the primary election against District 1 incumbent Mark Snell and Republican candidate Eddie Davis. No Democrats ran in District 2.
Incumbent Republican Crystal McIntyre will not be running for reelection in District 2, as supervisor districts were redrawn and approved in early January. She instead is the sole nominee for District 5.
To help voters, the Des Moines Register sent questions to all federal, Des Moines area legislative and local candidates running for political office this year. Their answers have been lightly edited for length and clarity.
The general election is Nov. 5.

Political experience and civic activities: I was a Warren County supervisor for four years and held the distinction of chairing the board three of those years. I have not ran for nor held any other political offices. Both my spouse, Sarah, and I are civically minded. We believe in the mentality of “giving where you live.” Personally, I am currently on the Norwalk Student Area Foundation Board, am a member of the 100 Men of Norwalk, am a Warrior Level Booster for our schools, have served as a deacon for Crossroads Church in Norwalk, and currently serve in a leadership role/team for the church, and various other local endeavors.
