🇺🇸 Attention Kentucky House District 63 Republicans!
On May 19, we have a clear choice in the GOP Primary for State Representative.

Kim Banta is the proven America First candidate in this race.
As your incumbent Representative, Kim has fought for our conservative values — putting Kentucky families first, supporting strong education without indoctrination, protecting our borders and freedoms, and standing up against big government overreach. She's not a career politician; she's a retired educator and mom who gets it.

While others talk, Kim delivers results for Boone and Kenton Counties. She’s battled for lower taxes, school safety, and pro-life, pro-2A policies that align with President Trump’s America First agenda.

Don’t risk our district on untested alternatives. Vote to keep a reliable conservative voice in Frankfort.

✅ Vote Kim Banta on May 19!
Early voting is available — make your plan today.
Share this if you’re with Kim and America First!

Opinion -

Boone County deserves leadership that puts America First — starting right here with our families, our taxpayers, and our communities.

That’s why we’re strongly supporting Chet Hand for Judge Executive over longtime incumbent Gary Moore in the May 19 Republican primary.

Chet is a lifelong conservative, current County Commissioner, husband, father of seven, and farmer who has already delivered real results on fiscal responsibility, zero-based budgeting, and protecting property rights. He’s running on responsible growth that follows our comprehensive plan, preserves community character, and puts longtime Boone County residents first — not special interests or unchecked development.

After nearly 28 years in office, Gary Moore represents the career politician status quo. Boone County’s rapid changes demand fresh, accountable, conservative leadership that listens to the people and puts our county first in every partnership and decision.

What’s your top priority for Boone County’s future — lower taxes, smarter growth, or more transparency? Drop it in the comments and let’s talk!

With the Republican Primary for Kenton County Sheriff just weeks away on May 19, experience in law enforcement truly matters.
Larry Shelton brings over 20 years as a sworn officer — rising to Captain in the Kenton County Police Department — plus a law degree and years practicing as an attorney. He's served as a hostage negotiator, defensive tactics instructor, and community leader who understands the daily challenges deputies face.
His opponent, appointed Sheriff Jude Hehman, has strong experience in municipal government and business but zero sworn law enforcement background.
The role of Sheriff involves serving warrants, court documents, managing deputies, issuing permits, and keeping our community safe. Shouldn't the person in that position have worn the badge and led from within the department?
Read the full breakdown and decide for yourself:

When a state trooper calls for help, the ability to communicate is not optional. It is a matter of life and death. Yet after seven years and more than $110 million spent, Kentucky troopers and first responders are still operating in dead zones. The Statewide Emergency Responder Voice System, or SER
