As of January 27th, no Republican candidate has filed to challenge Vanderburgh County Sheriff Noah Robinson who was elected to his first term in 2022, and took office in 2023.
Robinson is the only Democrat. He’s one of a long line of former deputies elected to office.
“It seems to me that the Vanderburgh county residents seem to like the idea of sheriff deputies taking over that role,” Robinson said in 2023. “And we like it as well, because it makes a lot of sense in terms of understanding how a sheriff's office works, it's just not the same as the police department, or the state police or highway patrol.”
Robinson filed his candidacy January 23rd.
