Cheryl Musgrave is no stranger to county government. Cheryl was elected three times as Vanderburgh County Assessor and three times as Vanderburgh County Commissioner. As Assessor, Cheryl Musgrave was first in the state to make all real property assessment and sales records freely available on the Internet. She was one of the first in Indiana to create a GIS system and again first to place all the data on the Internet for free. As County Commissioner, she expanded and created TIF Districts and used the funding to plan a massive increase in local infrastructure growth, including roads, bridges, and trails. As Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance under Governor Mitch Daniels, Musgrave implemented the wider use of modern technology, assisted in the virtual abolishment of the office of Township Assessor, and saved millions of dollars in school construction projects. In 2022, Musgrave’s leadership and creative problem-solving style resulted in the public-private broadband contract between Vanderburgh County and AT&T which will provide high speed access to unincorporated Vanderburgh County, tying southwest Indiana to the world and the world to southwest Indiana at speeds that are unsurpassed anywhere on the globe.
