A Morningside College administrator said Monday he plans to challenge incumbent Woodbury County Board member David Tripp in November.
Alex Watters, 27, a Democrat, is running for the District 4 seat, which covers Sioux City. Tripp was elected in 2010 as a Republican and has announced plans to seek re-election.
Watters said the County Board needs a new view on issues.
“I believe that Woodbury County’s best years are ahead of us, and that we need a fresh perspective moving forward on the board of supervisors," he said.
