Diana Moers was sworn into office in January of 2023 after being elected the first woman in Vanderburgh County history to hold the office of Prosecutor. As the elected Prosecutor, Moers is responsible for a staff of over 80 employees. The office of the Prosecutor is charged with prosecuting all crimes committed in Vanderburgh County, collecting child support, and a number of community outreach responsibilities. Moers is an Evansville native and graduated from North High School.Â
Prior to being elected Vanderburgh County Prosecutor, Moers served as section chief for the government litigation section of the Indiana Attorney General—the largest of the litigation sections. In this role, she oversaw the State’s attorneys handling a range of federal and state litigation cases and assisted the Solicitor General as needed.
Before joining the Office of Attorney General, Diana served as Executive Director of the Indiana board for depositories under State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell. In her role as Executive Director, Diana worked with the Board (which includes the Governor’s office, the State Auditor, Treasurer, Director of the State Board of Accounts, Director of the Indiana Department of Finance, as well as Bank and Credit Union CEOs), to ensure the safety of Indiana’s public funds in the event of bank fraud or failure.
Prior to her work with the Treasurer, Diana served at the Secretary of State’s Office at the Prosecution Assistance Unit – an arm of the Indiana Securities Division which aids prosecutors around Indiana in the prosecution of violations of the Indiana Securities and Loan Broker Acts. Additionally, Diana was an enforcement attorney for the division – a branch of the Indiana Secretary of State’s office charged with overseeing the state’s investment and financial protection industry. Upon consultation with local prosecutor’s offices, Diana was sworn-in as a special prosecutor within multiple jurisdictions to handle cases developed by the Indiana Securities Division.
