Sheboygan’s Call to Serve: Governor Seeks New Sheriff as Cory Roeseler Announces Retirement

Sheboygan, prepare to don your badges! Wisconsin’s Governor Tony Evers is on the lookout for a committed individual ready to step into the role of Sheboygan County sheriff. This significant announcement rolled out just after Sheriff Cory Roeseler declared his plans to retire on June 3, to dedicate more time to family. Having led with integrity since 2018, Roeseler’s shoes will be tough to fill and his departure marks the end of an era.

Following his announcement on April 30, Governor Evers swiftly opened the floor for applications, inviting leaders from our community to step up and continue maintaining justice and safety across Sheboygan. The successor will hold the reins until January 2027, completing Roeseler’s term.

Evers’ website under the “Register of Deeds, Coroner, and Sheriff” section. Mark your calendars, as the application cuts off sharp at 5 p.m. on May 15.
