The position will be up for election in November 2026. Starry said he made the announcement now to “give people plenty of time to think about if they want to get in the race.”

As of Starry’s announcement, one person had filed a campaign finance report indicating he’s running for Washington County sheriff: Jeremy Bolen, who’s worked for the Ramsey County sheriff’s office for 21 years, has a website saying he’ll be officially launching his campaign at a June 20 event.

Starry has been serving as sheriff since he was appointed in 2017 when then-Sheriff Bill Hutton retired. He was elected sheriff in November 2018.

After Starry’s term ends in January 2027, he plans on spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren, according to the announcement.
