Middlesex County Sheriff David P. Bushey has announced he will retire March 31, citing current medical conditions. In a letter to County Administrator Matt Walker, Bushey said unforeseen circumstances led him to take early retirement after more than a decade in office. Bushey joined the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office in 1994, later serving as chief deputy before being elected sheriff in 2011. He has won four terms, with his current term set to run through the end of 2027. Under Virginia law, the Middlesex Board of Supervisors is expected to request a special election, likely to be held with the November 2026 general election. Until then, the highest-ranking qualified deputy is expected to serve as acting sheriff.
