Storm Lake Hosts Second Legislative Forum on March 28

Storm Lake residents will get a direct line to their state lawmakers Saturday when the City of Storm Lake hosts the second Legislative Forum of the 2026 Iowa legislative session at the Sunrise Golf Course clubhouse, beginning at 11:30 a.m.

The forum is free and open to the public, with no registration required. Iowa State Representative Megan Jones and State Senator Lynn Evans are the typical attendees, giving constituents an in-person opportunity to raise concerns and questions on current issues directly with the legislators who represent them at the Capitol.

Saturday's gathering is the second in a series the City of Storm Lake sponsors during the state's 2026 legislative session. A third forum is already on the calendar for April 18 at 10 a.m.

One detail worth noting before heading out: a separate event listing from the Des Moines law firm BrownWinick places the March 28 forum at King's Pointe Resort, 1520 E. Lakeshore Drive, rather than the Sunrise Golf Course clubhouse. The city's own March 24 press release and its official Facebook post, published in both English and Spanish, consistently name Sunrise Golf Course clubhouse as the location. Readers who want to confirm before arriving can contact the City of Storm Lake directly.

The bilingual announcement on the city's Facebook page reflects Storm Lake's diverse community, with the full event details posted in Spanish alongside the English text, a reminder that the forums are intended to be accessible to all residents.

With the Iowa legislature's 2026 session actively underway, Saturday's forum offers one of the few structured settings where Buena Vista County residents can speak face-to-face with their elected state officials outside of Des Moines.
