Kyle Klinksiek will be challenging incumbent Jay Urdahl for the District 1 Cerro Gordo County Supervisor seat.
Klinksiek, a 42 year-old truck driver, is running as an Independent.
Today via phone, Klinksiek said “It’s time for a change.” He said Urdahl has been in office “long enough. Twenty-four years, that’s a long time.”
Klinksiek pointed to the condition of the North Iowa Fairgrounds as an example of Urdahl’s time as a Supervisor. “The place is in bad shape, all under his watch.”
Klinksiek also said today he would have “no problem” engaging in an NIT-sponsored debate with Urdahl that would be video-taped and shared on Youtube. “I’m fine with that, set it up,” he said.
Urdahl will be on the ballot as a Democrat, but he has sought campaign help and contributions from staunch Republicans.
Urdahl approached Dr. Gary Blodgett of Clear Lake for help in raising funds for his re-election campaign some months ago. Dr. Blodgett obliged and wrote a fundraising letter which was mailed out to several dozen potential donors. This despite the fact that the Urdahl campaign had over $15,000 already on hand.

Klinksiek said he doesn’t want any contributions.
“I’m doing this all on my own,” he explained.
Klinksiek invited anyone with questions to call him at 641-420-9715 or send an email to kyle.klinksiek01@gmail.com.
Got me on that one. Take care.
Also those claims I believed been paid. Took me a while but I paid them.
Been laid off work for three years. I said I was not perfect. I have been paying them off.
On the public intox, I left my truck at the bar and walked home. I thought I was doing the right thing. I was walking down the sidewalks not the streets. I was not yelling are starting fights. I did not know walking home instead of driving home was going to put me in jail. It is my fault and I paid the price. I also have a speeding ticket, 2 parking tickets, and 3 no seatbelt tickets. I believe that covers all my tickets. If you have any questions please call me. I am not perfect and never will be.
Thank you. Enjoy your weekend.
Apology accepted. Thank you. I’m willing to give you another chance. I think we’ve all had problems typing on smart phones.
That is what I get for using a smart phone. Sorry for the messed up English. I did not take typing on smart phones in school. I am sorry I lost your vote. Hopefully I will have computer running next week. Very sorry for the terrible English.
