About County Executive Warren C. Evans

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science from Madonna University, a Master of Arts degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Detroit, and a Juris Doctor degree from Detroit College of Law. I am a member of the State Bar of Michigan, the D.C. Bar, and the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. I was appointed as Wayne County Sheriff in 2003, where I served until 2009, winning two subsequent elections in 2004 and 2008. I also served as Chief of Staff of the Wayne County Commission, Assistant County Executive, and Chief of Special Operations of the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

As the County Executive, I have received the honor of being the first African American to receive a terminal named in my honor at Detroit-Metro Airport; the Warren Cleage Evans Terminal.

Since 2014, we have worked together to build a stronger and more economical sound Wayne County. By prioritizing and restoring fiscal stability, together, we were able to eliminate the $82 million accumulated deficit and $52 million structural deficit. Now that we have achieved a balanced budget and since exited the consent agreement with the state, we've been able to watch the County's credit ratings steadily rise across the nation's top three credit rating agencies.

I will continue to proudly serve our state's most populous county with diligence, tenacity, and integrity as we continue to offer high standards for our resident's way of life.
