Tama County candidates file for June 2 primary election
TOLEDO – Last week Friday at 5 p.m. the county filing deadline passed for Iowa’s Tuesday, June 2, 2026 primary election. The offices of Tama County treasurer, recorder, and attorney, as well as two seats on the Board of Supervisors, will be on the ballot locally. The deadline for written objections to nomination papers is today, Friday, March 27, at 4:30 p.m.
According to information provided by the Tama County Auditor’s Office, incumbent Tama County Treasurer Amanda Kriegel of Tama will face three challengers in the Republican primary – Jolynn Harger of Traer, Ashley Bolen of Tama, and Kathy Holtz of Toledo.
Kriegel was first appointed to the office in April 2022 following Michelle Yuska’s resignation. She then ran unopposed in the June GOP primary election that year before defeating Kathy Holtz, running unaffiliated, in November’s general election. Kriegel garnered 3,943 votes to Holtz’s 2,490.
Kriegel is the daughter of Tammy Wise, former Tama County human resources manager and insurance administrator. Wise held both those positions in 2022 but is no longer employed with the County following her firing by the Board of Supervisors and the county’s outside HR specialist last year.
