Board of Supervisors

Board of Supervisors, 5 members, historically at-large but transitioning to district elections under 2025's Senate File 75. Chair: Linda Laylin. Note: Supervisor Christopher Schwartz faces sexual abuse charges from separate 2023/2024 incidents; the board voted 4-1 in April 2026 calling for his resignation, but Iowa law gives the board no removal authority — he remains a sitting supervisor and is not seeking re-election, with his term ending at the end of 2026.
