Chair Craig Roberts

Craig Roberts was born and raised in Clackamas County. Growing up on a small family farm near Mulino with four brothers, he learned early on the importance of hard work and the significance of working together to solve problems. Craig graduated from Clackamas Community College, the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association Command College and the National Sheriff’s Institute. Craig is most proud of his children, one son and two daughters, as well as his blended family with partner Erica and her two daughters.

Craig worked in law enforcement at the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office for over 40 years. He was the elected Clackamas County Sheriff for 16 years, retiring in December 2020. As Sheriff, Craig’s priority was supporting public safety, children and families, and those who struggle with addiction and mental illness.

Craig came out of retirement and was elected in November 2024 to serve the public of Clackamas County again; this time as Clackamas County Commission Chair.
