Meet County Commissioner Cheryl Musgrave
by Staff
Commissioner Musgrave is known to be innovative, hard-working, decisive, and prepared. These are the kind of adjectives used to describe Cheryl Musgrave, Vanderburgh County Commissioner.  Her work as an elected official has delivered technological innovation and better roads.
Musgrave recently secured a major win for unincorporated Vanderburgh County in Broadband Internet access.  By the end of 2023, every property will have access to fiber, delivering quality and speed unequaled in any other county in the country. This is the most recent result of a career spent in public service.
The daughter and granddaughter of career military men, Cheryl is a ‘military brat’. Born in Germany, and raised in Utah, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Naples, Italy, she learned early the honor and sacrifice of public service.
This public service ethic led Musgrave to pursue elected office. She won her first race for Vanderburgh County Assessor by a two-to-one margin over a twenty-four-year incumbent who outspent her by a large margin.
Her career includes eight victorious county-wide races, both general and primary elections, including four that ousted incumbents. In doing so, Musgrave earned the reputation of a tough and effective campaigner with an independent mindset.
Once elected, she has shown time and again creative problem solving which delivered exceptional service to taxpayers.
