New Johnson County supervisor Green vows independent stance
Adam Green, sworn in as the newest member of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, plans to defy party lines on criminal justice and jail policy. He questions the county’s use of a military vehicle, opposes expanded drug enforcement, and supports civilian oversight for the sheriff while seeking buy-in from peers. Green, a former Lone Tree mayor and 2016 Iowa Democratic platform contributor, has endorsed progressives but aims to bring pragmatic, confrontational insight to the board.
