Waukesha Sheriff Race: Two Republicans Battle | Milwaukee News

Waukesha County’s sheriff’s race is heating up with two Republican heavyweights—John Gscheidmeier, a seasoned law enforcement veteran with a background as a cop, firefighter, and educator, plus county board experience, and Nick Ollinger, a 13-year Sheriff’s Department captain. With no Democratic challengers in the picture, the winner of this Tuesday’s Republican primary will automatically become the next sheriff—no general election needed. As Eric Severson, the longtime incumbent with over four decades in law enforcement, prepares to retire, voters are choosing between two proven cops who know the job inside out. The stakes? A massive department serving nearly 400,000 residents across 567 square miles. This is your chance to pick the next leader of one of Wisconsin’s most critical law enforcement agencies.
