(La Porte County, IN) - A member of the La Porte County Council and a former sheriff is seeking reelection.

Mike Mollenhauer is running for one of the at-large seats he’s had on the council since March of 2017.

“Now more than ever we need elected representation with common sense. We need someone that can work with others regardless of party affiliation,” he said.

Mollenhauer, a Democrat, was sheriff from 2007 to 2014 during his 37 years with the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office. He expressed a commitment to campaign with civility and a desire to reach across the aisle to other voters.

If re-elected, “I will continue to work for you, be fiscally responsible with your tax dollars, and do my best to always make fair and unbiased decisions to keep our county progressing forward,” he said.
