Warren County Democrats

Supporting the election of talented democrats at the local, state, and national levels

Meet the Candidates


  • Meet Spencer Waugh – House District 21

    I’ve lived in Iowa for 30 years.  My wife Sinikka and I have two daughters, and we will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary this summer.  I began teaching HS in Indianola in 1998, and I was Indianola’s Teacher of the Year in 2008. We all want a world-class education for our kids. That’s not a Democrat or Republican thing. That’s an issue we all can agree on. Warren and Marion counties deserve a representative who will respect their tax dollars, listen, and work for them.  

Meet Rory Taylor – House District 22

I believe the future of Iowa and its failing democracy are the state’s most critical issues. That is precisely why I am working to be elected as a democrat to Iowa House District 22 and to be a representative and voice for all of the citizens in my district.

Meet Mark Matlage – Supervisor, District 1

I’ve seen the mounting frustration by Warren County residents concerning decisions made by the current Board. The have passed budgets in the red and the solutions that continue to raise taxes. It’s time for some regional balance and common sense on the Board.

Meet Matt DeAngelo – Supervisor, District 2

I am a longtime resident of Warren County and spent the last 38 years as a journeyman foreman and member of IBEW Local 347. I have been very active in my local union serving on the Examining Board, as the Health and Welfare Fund Trustee, Recording Secretary and as a Delegate to the International Convention in 2016 and 2022. I now want to serve in a different capacity as Warren County Supervisor. I look forward to hearing about the issues you care about, your hopes for the future of Warren County, and how I can best serve you as your next Warren County Supervisor in District 2.

Meet Jane Colacecchi – Supervisor, District 3

I care about the quality of life for Warren County. I have spent my career advising local, state, and federal government agencies as a planner and project manager. I was Policy Advisor to Governor Vilsack and served as Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health.  As a volunteer, I have raised thousands in grant dollars for Warren County non-profit organizations. I believe my experience and understanding of public policy and finance will be a benefit to the county.

Meet Eric Martens – Supervisor, District 4

I was born and raised in Warren County and have raised 6 fantastic kids here with my wife, Abby. I grew up on a farm and have built my career through successful business management and entrepreneurship. I have had a lifetime interest in the balance between preserving the rural lifestyle and allowing our communities to grow. 

Meet Jenna Thompson – Supervisor, District 5

Warren County is changing quickly. Supervisors play a crucial role in whether that change has a positive impact or leaves lasting damage.  I am a long-time resident stepping up to make sure our board has the skill and cooperative spirit needed to make a positive impact – for you and for all of Warren County.
