LEHIGH, Iowa (AP) – The mayor and city clerk of the small Webster County city of Lehigh have quit, and another City Council member says she may resign. Former Mayor Paula Martin told the Fort Dodge Messenger she resigned because of issues discussed at a Monday council meeting. She declined to give details, and minutes of the meeting weren’t available. City Clerk Kathy Gambill declined to say why she had given her two-week notice. Council member Kay Timmons says she’s considering resigning. The council will hold a special meeting Monday night.
Council member David Hrubes wouldn’t comment on the resignations but says he was surprised by Martin’s decision. Martin was mayor or a council member for most of 25 years before retiring. She again became mayor in 2014 after another mayor resigned.
Iowa’s Secretary of State is touting voter registration efforts on the campuses of 38 colleges and universities in Iowa. “It’s vitally important to make your voice heard and to be a voter.” Iowa Secretary of State Paul is also unveiling a new website that can produce electronic reminders for all Iowa voters — including the more than 300-thousand college students in Iowa.
“One of the most powerful features of the MyIowavote is the ability of a person to opt in to a series of reminders to vote,” Pate says. “So once you’re in, it will remind you that you have a school board election, you have a county election, and it will tell you where to go vote and give you the polling sites and the polling hours.” “My Iowa Vote” was created with “Turbo Vote” software. It will generate a text message, reminding voters where to go — and when — to get their ballots cast. Colleges and universities in Iowa have used the Turbo Vote software to tailor voter engagement campaigns on each campus.
Rachel Zuckerman is student body president at the University of Iowa. “Young people cannot wait until the future to start voting,” she says. “We need to bring our activism to the ballot box now and we need to bring our youthful energy into our democracy to get our elected officials to care about these issues that matter to us.” University of Northern Iowa student body president Hunter Flesch says a “voter palooza” on October 10th in Cedar Falls is part of the “all around push” to get students on his campus registered to vote.
“We all understand that this year is an extremely vital year to get students involved in the voting process,” he says. “However, being involved in the governmental process is something that goes beyond just this election. We want to create a culture not just at UNI, but in the state of Iowa that reminds students that they have a voice and that they can effect real change by voting not just in presidential elections, but also the local elections.”
Iowa State University student body president Cole Staudt says there are voter registration drives on the Ames campus every day. “We could have a tremendous impact on this election and every election moving forward,” Staudt says. Elisabeth Niebuhr Of Le Mars, a senior at Buena Vista University, says more than 200 students signed a petition asking for a satellite voting station on the Storm Lake campus. “It is our civic duty and it is something, like all of my peers have said, shapes and will shape our country because we are the next biggest generation and we are the game changers,” she said. Emilee Harris is president of the “Democrats Club” at Grand View University in Des Moines. Harris says there are now more than 75 million millennials in America.
“If we got out to vote, we would have our voices heard,” Harris says. Robert Lyons, the student body president at Simpson College, says 62 percent of Simpson students voted in 2012. “Millennials are voting and we’re voting in greater numbers every year,” Lyons says. “Simpson students will be at the polls in November and I encourage other college-age millennials to join us.”
Millennials are people between the ages of 18 and 35. The new text reminders about voting are available for ANY Iowa voter.
