Michael Shipman, Wayne County's longest-serving prosecutor, won't seek re-election in 2026
RICHMOND, IN — Michael Shipman, the longest-serving prosecutor in Wayne County history, will not seek re-election in next year's election cycle. Shipman's current term as prosecutor runs through Dec. 31, 2026. The prosecutor announced his decision to not seek another term in a May 29 news release. Wayne County Republican precinct officials elected Shipman as prosecutor in April 2005 after his predecessor, David Kolger, had been elected judge. Shipman later won election to four-year terms in 2005, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022. In his release, Shipman noted he had "never faced opposition when running for re-election." He had joined the prosecutor's office as a deputy prosecutor in 1999 and had been chief deputy prosecutor since 2022. He previously was a deputy prosecutor in western Indiana's Benton County.
