Hamilton County Superior Court No. 1 Judge Steven R. Nation announced Monday that he will not seek a fifth term in the upcoming May 2018 primary election, and for the first time in 40 years his name will not appear on the ballot.
Nation was elected to the Bench and took office in 1995 and is now completing his 24th year, or fourth term as a Judge. Prior to taking the Bench, Nation served as a Hamilton County Deputy Prosecutor for two years and in 1979 was elected as the Hamilton County Prosecutor where he served 16 years, or four terms.
“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Hamilton County. I am grateful to God and the people of Hamilton County for permitting me to serve them all these years. I have been blessed to work with many wonderful elected officials and people from the various communities in Hamilton County. Hamilton County is the best place in the State to live because we have such caring people who live and serve here. I hope that my service has protected the citizens and has helped make Hamilton County and the State of Indiana a safer and better place to live,” Nation said.
