Marty Chitty’s Commitments to You:
During my prior 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.
As a Supervisor representing Story County District 2, it is critical that our rural communities continue to be recognized as ‘open for business’ by businesses and industries desiring to locate or expand their workforce. To achieve this, I will be a tireless champion and a voice for rural residents and all communities throughout Story County.
As you know, I spent nearly 25 years working for FedEx, and throughout my career, I embraced two key ideals:
- Be Real. Be genuine.
- Do right, because younger generations are looking at your example.
These ideals guide me each day; my wife, Jenny, and I instilled these ideals in our children; and these are the ideals that will guide me as a Story County Supervisor.
Doing What’s Right for Story County:
Maintaining a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility will be necessary to ensure Story County meets its priorities. During my prior service as a Story County Supervisor, I was the only rural resident on the Story County Board of Supervisors. I know first-hand the need to have quality roads and bridges in rural Story County and will continue to advocate for infrastructure improvements in our rural areas. With the new Story County District 2, I am looking forward to advocating for our rural communities throughout Story County as well as our farmers and rural residents. I am committed to being the voice of all residents on the Story County Board of Supervisors going forward by continuing to listen to your thoughts and concerns while sharing my positive vision for our future!
Doing What’s Right for Education:
As a life-long rural resident near Nevada, Iowa, my parents instilled in me the values of hard work, dedication and determination; and now as a parent, my wife and I have worked diligently to instill those same values in our children.
I also believe in giving-back when able. Throughout my 17 years of service as a member of the Nevada School Board, as well as having served for 13 years as School Board President, I know first-hand the challenges facing rural students and families as well, and I look forward to building collaborations where possible between the County Government and our local school districts.
Doing What’s Right for You:
As the Story County Supervisor for Districe 2, I promise that I will work hard on behalf of all of our residents and communities to ensure that Story County is the best place to live, work, receive an education and raise a family.
It’s no secret that Ames plays a significant role in the overall success of Story County–but, it’s also important that Story County Supervisors realize that decisions made by the Supervisors impact everyone–not just Ames residents. As your Story County Supervisor for District 2, the decisions that I make will be made with one guiding principle…to do what’s right for all of Story County, and more especially each of you–the residents of Story County.
“I look forward to serving the residents of Story County when elected as the Republican Nominee for District 2 on the Story County Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2026.”
