Hamilton County friends and neighbors,

I'm honored by the incredible support I've received from community leaders, law enforcement professionals, and residents across our county. As we continue building momentum for the future of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, I invite you to join us for a special fundraising reception on Monday, June 29th.

This event is an opportunity to come together, share ideas, and continue the conversation about strong leadership, integrity, and service for Hamilton County.

📅 Monday, June 29, 2026
🕔 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
📍 FOP Lodge #103 | Noblesville

I am grateful for the support of local leaders including commissioners, mayors, prosecutor, state senator, and many others who believe in our vision for the future.

I hope you'll join us for an evening of conversation, fellowship, and support as we continue working to keep Hamilton County strong.

Noblesville Schools will ask the community to vote this fall on an updated operating referendum. The district has had referendums providing additional operational funding for the last 16 years. If a new referendum is not approved, approximately $25 million per year in funding, which is about 20 percent of the district’s operating budget, will expire at the end of 2026.

Yesterday, I stopped a vehicle traveling in the left lane of I-65 Southbound in Bartholomew County. The vehicle was traveling below the speed limit and remained in the left lane for miles, not allowing other vehicles to pass on the left. Multiple vehicles were lined up behind the car, unable to overtake.

A small child and another passenger were unrestrained in the vehicle. Citations were issued.

Reminder: You must at least travel the speed limit in the left lane of a multi-lane highway AND you must move back to the right lane if there are vehicles behind you that are waiting to pass.

This is meant to keep traffic flowing and to reduce crashes.

Fishers recently passed a similar ordinance. Please look into your local municipality’s rules for motorized vehicles!
