U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has issued a statement following the death of Jefferson County Sheriff John Aubrey. Sheriff Aubrey served in his role for 27 years and was recently recognized as the 2025 Sheriff of the Year.
In his statement, McConnell said, “I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my longtime friend and Jefferson County Sheriff John Aubrey. John was a dedicated public servant who made an indelible impact on our community and for 27 years as Sheriff he worked tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe. His recognition as the 2025 Sheriff of the Year was a testament to his unwavering commitment to law enforcement and the respect he earned from all who knew him. Elaine and I extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department during this time.”
