Introduction
The elected officials in Sigourney, Iowa consist of the Mayor, the City Council, the Sigourney Community School Board, and the Keokuk County Supervisors (who are not elected by the city by the entire county, but represent and serve Sigourney constituents.)
Mayor of Sigourney, Iowa
The current Mayor of Sigourney is Jimmy Morlan, who was elected in 2021.
The previous Mayor of Sigourney was Douglas L. Glandon. Mayor Glandon was elected upon the unexpected death of the previous Mayor, Terry Hollingsworth in January 2016. Hollingsworth became Mayor in November 2013, and appointed then-City Councillor Glandon to the position of Mayor Pro-Tempore.
After the death of the Mayor, Glandon won a full term in November 2016 and served until 2022.
City Council of Sigourney, Iowa
The current members of the Sigourney City Council are:
- Ed Conrad (Ward 1, re-elected 2023)
- Stephani Lentz (Atwood) (Ward 2, elected 2021)
- Gary Iosbaker (Ward 4, elected 2021)
- Connie McLaughlin (Ward 3, re-elected 2023)
- Adam Clark (At Large, elected 2021)
- Alley Tish (At Large, elected 2022)
After the recent city council election, in January 2024 I believe the city council looks like this (I am taking a guess at which At Large seat was won in the recent election.):
- Ed Conrad (Ward 1, re-elected 2023)
- Stephani Lentz (Atwood) (Ward 2, elected 2021)
- Connie McLaughlin (Ward 3, re-elected 2023)

Keokuk County Supervisors
Officially the Keokuk County Supervisors are not city-level officials but one level higher, representing all of Keokuk County. They meet in Sigourney however, and their decisions affect the city as well as the county.
The three Keokuk County Supervisors are:
- Michael C. Hadley, first elected in 2010
- Daryl Wood, also first elected in 2010
- Fred Snakenberg, first elected in 2020
Hadley and Wood were both reelected in 2020, but Michael Berg lost to Fred Snakenberg, after serving since 2014.
Salary
The salary of the three Keokuk County Supervisors is $27,680 a year in 2018, though this may have been increased since the Compensation Board meets yearly to recommend increases.
