John Forbes, a former Iowa state representative, is running for Polk County Board of Supervisors District one seat in the 2026 election. He plans to challenge incumbent chair Matt McCoy, moving into a West Des Moines home to qualify. Forbes aims to end board divisions and focus on mental health, food and housing security, and clean water, despite budget cuts. With experience as a pharmacist, legislator, and city council member, he seeks to make the supervisor job full-time, offering part-time options as well.
