Elkhart Mayor Rod Roberson is seeking a third term in office.

Roberson made the announcement November 14, saying he believes there is still important work to be done to move the city forward.

First elected in 2019, Roberson won a second term in 2023.

His campaign will focus on continuing the ASPIRE ELKHART initiative, which has helped bring more than 25 projects to the city over the past two years. Those developments include plans for more than 977 new housing units.

Roberson says his priorities also include safer neighborhoods, improved infrastructure, additional housing and stronger public spaces.

The next Elkhart mayoral election is scheduled for November 2, 2027.
