I’m incredibly proud of the team we have at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. A team made up of selfless, dedicated individuals who work every day to serve and protect the community we call home.

I am humbled by your continued support and grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Sheriff.

Together, we will continue the work our community deserves.

Congratulations to our incredible 2026 Democratic nominees and local leaders!

This primary was a powerful reminder that Monroe County Democrats are ready to organize, fight for our communities, and build a better future together.

We'd also like to congratulate all of our Precinct Chairs and State Delegate candidates who stepped up to serve our party and our community.

THANK YOU to every volunteer, voter, poll worker, candidate, and supporter who made this election cycle possible!

What a great opportunity to connect with members of the Democratic community at the 2026 Roosevelt Reception.

One message stood out: as Dr. Charlie Nelms put it, “we need to stop settling for running a strong campaign and start putting our energy into running a winning campaign.”

That’s the shift. That’s the focus. The Democratic Party is on the come up. It’s time to match that momentum with results.

It was a meaningful opportunity to come together, build relationships, and support families across our community.

Sheriff Marté said, “I’m grateful for the continued partnership and the work being done to make a positive impact in Monroe County.”

Don’t forget, early voting starts April 7th!

Make your voices heard, and help shape the future of our community. Progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when people step up, stay engaged, and vote for leaders who believe in fairness, accountability, and opportunity for all.

Sheriff Marté, Chief Deputy Parker, and Lieutenant Colonel Jacobs recently met with members of Monroe County CASA, Inc. Indiana to take part in a photo promoting National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

A month dedicated to raising awareness, promoting prevention efforts, and supporting families to ensure children's safety.

Monroe County CASA is a volunteer-powered organization that provides advocacy and a voice for children who are victims of abuse and neglect. We’re grateful for the work they do every day to support and protect some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

I was honored to attend the Centennial Black History Month Gala at the Woolery Mill last evening.

Congratulations to cultural preservationist and storyteller Elizabeth Mitchell, the 2026 Living Legend Honoree—so well deserved.

It was an inspiring evening celebrating the visionaries and leaders who have helped shape our community and continue to make it stronger every day.
