Iowa City Council weighs how to fill vacancy in District C
The Iowa City Council debates filling the vacancy left by Andrew Dunn with a special election or appointment. Preliminary talks favor a special election, but costs and low turnout drive caution. If appointed, the seat would run until November 2025 with a potential successor taking office then. A Borough-wide vote could occur as early as March if a special election proceeds.
