There will be a special election on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 from 6am to 6pm in the 18th Senatorial District (all of Bracken, Carter, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, and Robertson Counties).  The election is to fill a seat vacated by Senator Charlie Borders.

The candidates appearing on the ballot will be Robin Webb (D), Jack Ditty (R), and Guy Gibbons (I).

If you live in these counties, please do everything you can to learn about the candidates, remind your friends, and get out and vote!  If you know anyone in this district, please call them and let them know about the election. 

KFTC will be calling all of our members in the district, will do a mailing to remind them to vote, will do some limited paid ads in local newspapers, and will provide "neighbor to neighbor" postcards to our members in the district to help them remind their friends to vote.

Please call Dave Newton, our Voter Empowerment Organizer at (859) 420-8919 or Dave@kftc.org if you have questions or ideas or if you'd like to volunteer with us in this district.
