Representative Wheeler is from Sioux County. The median annual income for a man in Sioux County is $31,548. $19,963 for a woman. The median income in Iowa is $37,798. Black people make up .51 percent of the population. Native Americans make up .24 percent even thought the county is named after Sioux tribes. 80 percent of adults in Sioux County belong to a conservative Christian church. You don't have to go far to rub shoulders with someone who believes the literal Bible version of the earth being about 6,000 years old and dinosaurs and people being on earth at the same time. I'm going out on a limb here, but is Sioux County the best place to find those who are to set policy at our universities in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion or interpretation of historical events?
