Wil Schroder Announces Campaign for Campbell County Attorney

Former State Senator and Prosecutor Brings Proven Experience in Law and Public Service

Campbell County, KY — Wil Schroder, a former assistant prosecutor, two-term State Senator, and current Senior Counsel to Kentucky’s Attorney General, announced his candidacy today for Campbell County Attorney. Current County Attorney Steve Franzen previously indicated he is not seeking reelection. The race will take place in 2026.

With deep roots in the legal and prosecutorial communities, Schroder brings a unique blend of courtroom, legislative, and leadership experience to the role. As an Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney, Schroder worked closely with law enforcement to protect Campbell County and advocate for victims of crime. He later served two terms in the Kentucky State Senate, representing the 24th District, which includes Campbell and surrounding counties. In Frankfort, Schroder was a consistent voice for public safety, law enforcement, and taxpayers. Currently serving as Senior Counsel to Attorney General Russell Coleman, Schroder plays a lead role in coordinating the Office’s relationships with legislators, national attorneys general organizations, and prosecutors throughout the state.

“I’m running for Campbell County Attorney to serve the community I care deeply about,” said Schroder. “A strong criminal justice system is crucial to a healthy community. You can’t have a vibrant community if people don’t feel safe. As County Attorney, I will prosecute with the purpose to protect and ensure that Campbell County remains a place where people want to live, work, and raise a family.”

Schroder is a graduate of the University of Kentucky and Northern Kentucky University’s Chase College of Law. He and his wife, Marci, live in Wilder, where they are raising their three children and remain active in their church and school community. Public service runs deep in his family—his late father, Wil Schroder, served nearly 30 years as a Northern Kentucky judge, including on the Kentucky Supreme Court and his late mother was a dedicated schoolteacher.
