What do Kentucky’s House and Senate do, and how does that affect me?
But what does a state senator or state representative really do, anyway?
It’s a good question. Both are state lawmakers that introduce and vote on legislation whenever the state legislature is in session. Both are elected to represent Kentuckians based on equal representation under the law.
What’s a city commissioner good for, anyway? How Covington’s city government works
Covington is the only city in Kenton County holding a primary this month.
This year, the city has 10 candidates for the city’s board of commissioners, and results from the primary will knock two candidates out of the race, leaving eight to compete in November for the board’s four seats.
Although the commission has a primary, it is nonpartisan, and candidates need not declare a party affiliation to run. All candidates in the May primary are running as nonpartisans.
10 hopefuls vie for seats on Covington City Commission
There are 10 candidates in the running for four open seats on the Covington Board of Commissioners. The board is the only race for which there’s a primary election in Kenton County. Two of the 10 candidates will be eliminated as a result, and the remaining eight will move on to the general election in November.
