Kim Chapman believes county government should be efficient, responsive, and supportive of residents and local businesses. He supports:

• Reducing unnecessary red tape and streamlining permitting processes so rural residents, builders, and small businesses can innovate and grow without delay.

• Ensuring county regulations are pro-growth and pro-job creation, while still protecting health, safety, and the rural character that makes Dallas County special.

• Periodic review of county codes and processes (like zoning reviews and permit timelines) to eliminate outdated burdens and accelerate responsible development.

• Transparent, open government that keeps residents informed about regulatory changes and solicits community input before new mandates are implemented.

Dallas County is growing. That growth must be managed thoughtfully. He supports:

• Updating the comprehensive land use plan

• Ensure a balanced approach to maintaining conservation and recreation while supporting smart development.

Kim Chapman understands that property taxes are a burden for homeowners, farmers, and small businesses. He will:

• Work to control spending and prioritize county budgeting to deliver essential services without unnecessary tax increases.

• Advocate for efficient county operations and long-term financial planning that protects taxpayers while investing in core priorities like roads, public safety, and infrastructure. (Dallas County Iowa)

• Support transparency in the tax process so residents understand how tax dollars are spent and how valuations are determined.

• Encourage coordination with local assessors and state officials to ensure fair and equitable property assessments across the county.

• Promote policies that help stabilize local tax rates as the county grows, keeping Dallas County affordable for families and businesses alike.

Public safety is a top priority for families and businesses in Dallas County. Kim Chapman will:

• Support law enforcement, emergency medical services, and first responders with the resources they need to keep our county safe and secure.

• Back initiatives that strengthen coordination across agencies — from the Sheriff’s Office to EMS to emergency management — so response times and community protection are always improving. (Dallas County Iowa)

• Promote community safety programs that focus on prevention, education, and partnership with neighborhood groups.

• Ensure funding and oversight for county safety facilities, training, technology, and infrastructure to keep pace with growth.

• Advance transparency and communication so residents are informed about public safety efforts, priorities, and outcomes.

As an incumbent Supervisor on the Dallas County Board of Supervisors, Kim Chapman has a consistent record of thoughtful leadership and practical problem-solving. He believes in:

• Effective, cost-conscious governance that protects taxpayers.

• Responsible growth and land use decisions that preserve what makes Dallas County a great place to live.

• Public safety investments that keep families and communities secure.

• Regulatory reform and transparency to make county government more accessible and accountable.
