Knox County Clerk David Shelton has been named Indiana Clerk of the Year for 2025.

It’s the third time he’s received the honor from the Indiana Clerks’ Association, with previous wins in 2020 and 2023.

Shelton was recognized this week at the group’s annual conference. He’s now the first clerk in the state to win the award three times.

In a statement, Shelton said he’s humbled by the recognition and remains committed to trusted leadership and secure elections.

He’s also a Republican candidate for Indiana Secretary of State in 2026.
