Joe Deters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph T. ("Joe") Deters is an American politician of the Republican party who currently serves as Prosecuting Attorney for Hamilton County, Ohio.
Deters was the Hamilton County prosecutor in the 1990s, resigning in 1999 because he had been elected Ohio State Treasurer. His successor, Michael K. Allen, was embroiled in a sex scandal in the fall of 2004 that led to his withdrawal from his re-election bid and Deters's successful write-in candidacy for the post of prosecutor. He resigned as State Treasurer in January 2005 to become a prosecutor again.
He is a resident of Hamilton County's Symmes Township, moving there from Liberty Township, Butler County on the day of the filing deadline for the prosecutor race.
Deters is an alumnus of Saint Xavier High School in Cincinnati.
