Monroe County Comissioners Candidates
General Election: November 8th, 2022

Picture
Back to General ​Election Page
This page provides information about candidates running for Monroe County Commissioner on General Election Day, November 8th. By Indiana law, a county's Board of Commissioners has three members that represent different geographic districts of where they reside. Their constituency is not limited to their district. Voters within the entire county are able to elect a county commissioner no matter the district. 

For 2022,  District 1 is the open seat which covers the western part of the county.  The incumbent Lee Jones is running for re-election and will compete against Perry Robinson for Monroe County Commissioner. 

Picture
Watch the League of Women Voter (LWV) candidate forum from Monday, October 10th on CATS! Democratic incumbents who are running for Monroe County Commissioner and County Council answered questions prepared by the Bloomington-Monroe County chapter as well as the public. They shared their positions on policy topics and their plans if re-elected to office. 

Check out LWV Bloomington-Monroe County website for the last candidate forum happening October 10th.  

Winner: Lee Jones (D)

Picture
Lee Jones, the incumbent County Commissioner for District 1,  was elected in 2018.  When Jones won the County Commissioner’s race it required her to vacate the at-large county council seat, which she was re-elected in 2016. Jones runs Stranger’s Hill Organics, a business she founded in 1983 with her husband, Dale. She grew up in Bloomington, attended Bloomington High School, and earned an undergraduate degree in biology at Indiana University. At the Southern Indiana Area Labor Federation candidate forum held on March 28, Jones said she wanted to restart the work on three projects that had been put off during the COVID-19 pandemic: criminal justice reform, protection of Lake Monroe as the community’s water source; and finishing the plan for the urbanized areas outside of Bloomington.

Perry Robinson (R)

Picture
Perry Robinson, a resident of Monroe County his entire life, has been a tradesman for the last 35 years. He has been a Union electrician for over 20 plus years. He has served on the examining board for the IBEW local #725 for three years and currently serves on the Van Buren Water Board. He has been a General Foreman in his role as an electrician, leading teams to achieve work goals as well as being responsible for safety protocols. In 2020 and 2021 he was head of Quality Control for a multi-million-dollar job. Most recently, he was promoted to the Business Development Team with Miller-Eads Company.  Among his peers he is known as the “P.R. man”, a.k.a., the public relations man. This background of leadership and project management in the trades prepares Robinson very well for the responsibilities of overseeing county road improvements, bridge maintenance, zoning ordinances, and the county health department. He certainly plans to represent Monroe County constituents when performing these duties. However, he also brings some common sense values to the table.
