Steve Ellis for Vigo County Sheriff

Steve Ellis is running for Vigo County Sheriff because he believes it's time for a fresh approach to leadership, accountability, and community policing. With 17 years of experience as a special and reserve deputy, a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology, and 25 years of leadership and business management experience in a multimillion-dollar company, Steve brings a combination of law enforcement knowledge and proven leadership to the table.

His vision for Vigo County includes implementing physical fitness standards for deputies, increasing patrol presence without adding more deputies, and creating stronger relationships between law enforcement and the community through proactive, interactive policing that focuses on preventing crime before it happens. Steve believes leadership is about making tough decisions, standing behind your commitments, and doing what's right for the people you serve.

Having accepted no campaign donations, he is committed to running a campaign free from political favors and outside obligations. For Steve, becoming Sheriff isn't about a gold badge. It's about bringing bold leadership, meaningful change, and a stronger commitment to the safety of Vigo County.

Steve has the endorsments of over 60% of the Sheriff's deputies.
