For those of you who live in the 75th House District in Lexington:

As many of you know, Representative Kathy Stein is now running for Ernesto Scorsone's old Senate seat, which leaves a vacancy in a legislative district with a high concentration of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth members.

 As part of our Voter Empowerment campaign, we want our members and our issues to be part of the discussion and the process as both parties pick who their candidates for this new vacancy are.

Later today (Wednesday) the Democratic party will hold a candidate forum for people to learn about the contenders for this seat. 

75th District Representative Democratic Forum
Wednesday, August 6th
6pm - 9pm
Memorial Hall, UK Campus
(610 South Limestone St, Lexington)

Each potential candidate will deliver a brief address and answer questions from precinct committee members.

We want to make sure we have lots of members there to make an impact and serve as a visible presence. 

Remember - KFTC does not have stances on candidates or political parties, but we do have stances on issues and policy - something that we want to share with all candidates. 

If there are any public input forums like this to help select the Republican candidate, we'll let you know.  If you hear of any please pass the information along to us.
