You can run for office (and win) - Filing deadline is Friday Jan 10th

IMG_1457We don't always get the candidates we want or deserve.  Sometimes bad politicians go unopposed on election day or we're forced to choose between the "lesser of two evils."  We do the best we can with the candidates we have, keeping our eyes on our vision and longterm meaningful political change, but our voter work sure is more fun and more impactful with great candidates. 

We are Kentuckians.  We are our own best chance for change.  Maybe we're the candidates we've been waiting for.  Maybe you know and respect someone who would run for office if you encouraged them to.  Maybe it's time that you run for office yourself.

The deadline to file for most public offices in Kentucky is this Friday January 10th at 4pm - weeks earlier than previous years.

In 2020, all state representative seats and half of our state senate seats are up for election in addition to all US house of representative seats and one US Senate seat (currently held by Mitch McConnell), and many local races on the county or city level.

To find who has already applied for state office, you can visit the Secretary of State's page here.
