Supervisor Jim Carey, Supervisor Shane McCampbell and County Auditor Sarah Doty were sworn into office by county officials at the Des Moines County Board of Supervisors meeting on Dec. 31, 2024. Each official swore to support the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Iowa and to “faithfully and impartially” discharge the duties of their offices in Des Moines County.

The swearing-in preceded a motion to set the board’s 2025 organization. The board agreed that Jim Carey will serve as chair, Shane McCampbell as vice chair and Tom Broker as the remaining member; officials said that arrangement will take effect at the board’s first meeting in January (the board indicated the organization will begin at the Jan. 7 meeting). The motion to establish the 2025 leadership roles was moved and seconded during the Dec. 31 session.

The oaths and the organizational decision establish the board’s leadership for the coming year and provide continuity for committee and liaison assignments that supervisors will carry into January.
