(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte County Commissioner is seeking a second term in the 2022 election. 

If re-elected, Democrat Sheila Matias says she will continue to be a voice for families, children, and senior citizens and keep using common sense along with her business leadership experience in representing citizens.

Matias is a former school teacher and mayor of Michigan City for nearly two terms.

“I will be the Sheila you always count upon and continue to speak for families, children, and our elders using a combination of good old-fashioned common sense and my business leadership experience while representing you respectfully to the best of my ability,” she said.

As county commissioner, Matias's accomplishments include spearheading a new county government website and forming a task force to extend broadband to unserved and underserved areas of the county.
