Former Story County Supervisor and current president of the Nevada School Board Marty Chitty announced Tuesday he will run for the GOP nomination in Iowa House District 51. The district covers several rural areas and communities in Story and Marshall counties.
“During my service as a Story County Supervisor, I strived to work hard on behalf of all residents of the county by making common sense, logic-based decisions that strengthened the county’s economy and promoted private sector job growth, while ensuring the funding necessary to meet our county’s needs in areas of mental health, roads and bridges and veterans services were maintained,” Chitty said. “As a member of the Iowa House of Representatives, it is critical that Iowa, especially our rural communities, continue to be recognized as ‘open for business’ by businesses and industries desiring to locate or expand their workforce in Iowa.”
Chitty said he knows the importance of having quality roads and bridges in rural Iowa and will advocate for infrastructure improvements in rural areas.
“Having grown up on a farm near Nevada, I’m proud to be a lifelong resident of Story County,” Chitty said. “Throughout my time as a Story County Supervisor, I’ve worked diligently to represent all residents of Story County, and am committed to being the voice of all residents of House District 51 going forward through continuing to listen to your thoughts and concerns while sharing my positive vision for our future.”
Chitty served on the Nevada School Board for 10 years, eight of which he served as president. He was also a Story County Supervisor in the past.
Ask how he feels about eminent domain???
He’s against it. He is a real conservative patriot.
The other gop candidate came out long ago in support of the green energy pipeline scheme in a letter to the editor of Ames’s area newspapers.
