Kentucky Supreme Court rules Dem candidate wins seat in Frankfort

[Democrat 4 Ever]

The Kentucky Supreme Court issued its ruling a few moments ago in the Stephenson v. Woodward case. We won!! We are thrilled the Court placed the Constitution above power and politics. The Court in a 5 to 2 decision affirmed the permanent injunction against Stephenson prohibiting her from serving in the State Senate as she is not qualified under the Kentucky Constitution. Now, it is up to the Governor to call a special election immediately so the citizens of the 37th district will finally have the representation they deserve.



Thanks for your support over the past year. I especially want to thank Virginia Woodward who has stood so strong and honorably in the face of such fierce opposition. The Democratic Party and the Commonwealth should be extremely proud of her today. Thank you.

1. Did the Dem candidate win the seat or is there a special election?

2. I won't swear by this

but I seem to remember reading that there will be a special election.

3. That's what I thought I heard on the news the other day, too.

But the OP mentioning the Dem won the seat made me curious.


I believe there's NO ONE representing that district right now.
